Bryce Harper is rocking Make Baseball Fun Again hats, taking selfies at the museum with his jersey in the background, and getting boo'd in most parks he shows up in. He's got a couple years before becoming the biggest FA in sports since LeBron James.

Mike Trout watches the Weather Channel, gives boring interviews, and is being repped by his mother in an ad campaign. He signed a very reasonable contract extension that takes him to free agency at age 29.

Seems like they are on different tracks.

Baseball purists should have no problem appreciating both in parallel, but I definitely see casual fans eschewing Trout's marginal increases of value taking an extra base or covering 10 more feet in the OF for Bryce's helmet falling off on a double.
