How Much Have Halos Shelled Out For Trout’s Injuries?
While Trout is almost undoubtedly a future Hall of Famer, with a career WAR total of 85.7 to go with 387 home runs, 1,667 hits and 972 RBIs, that’s not to say that the 15th year veteran from New Jersey has lived up to his contract.
That’s because Trout has been on the wrong end of a host of injuries since signing a 12-year, $426.5 million extension with the club, missing 459 games while making $96.2 million sitting on the bench since 2017.
Since his new deal started eight years ago, the only season where Trout suited up for each of L.A.’s games was in 2020, when COVID-19 shortened the regular season to 53 games, with the next closest being 2018 and 2019, when he missed 19 games apiece to injury.

Over that eight-year period, Trout has made $284.42 million in total, with $188.22 million earned by actually being on the field and another $96.2 million coming during his various stints on the 15-and-60-day injured list.
Unsurprisingly, Trout has seen his on-field productivity tank during that stretch, going from a WAR total of 10.4 in his second MVP season in 2016 to -0.1 in 29 games played this year, with three seasons with a WAR total of 2.0 or less (1.8 in 2020, 1.9 in 2021 and 1.1 in 2024), to go with a 2.9 WAR season in 2023 and a 6.1 WAR campaign in 119 games played back in 2022.
While it’s too soon to say that Trout’s best days are behind him, we can assess that his health is a serious question mark right now, with the 33-year-old veteran of 1,547 MLB games suffering a knee injury against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday and potentially being hobbled yet again in 2025.
