On SiriusXM: Phillips and Diaz say Mike Trout left $ on the table; Zion reminds Jim Boeheim of Dr. J

Among the most talked-about topics on SiriusXM this week was the record-setting $430 million contract that Mike Trout signed to stay with the Los Angeles Angels, coming less than three weeks after Bryce Harper’s mammoth deal that sent him to the Phillies.

On Mad Dog Sports Radio, Adam Schein praised the deal, saying Trout is worth every penny:
