Luke Walton had hilarious reaction to Mike Trout contract news

The big sports news this Tuesday is that Mike Trout landed a record-breaking contract with the Los Angeles Angels.

According to multiple reports, the contract (first reported by Jeff Passan of ESPN) is a 12-year deal worth $430 million — a record by a long shot.

When Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton heard about the monster contract, he had an incredible reaction many parents could relate to.

Luke Walton’s reaction to Mike Trout’s contract: “I called home, I said, “Babe, go buy a baseball bat. Throw all the basketballs away. We are now a baseball family.” (For his four year old son)
