LOS ANGELES -- Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels agreed Friday night to a $144.5 million, six-year contract, keeping baseballs brightest young star under club control through 2020. The Angels said the 22-year-old outfielder and his family will be at a news conference Saturday in Anaheim to formally announce the contract along with owner Arte Moreno, manager Mike Scioscia and general manager Jerry Dipoto. Few players in major league history have approached Trouts accomplishments in his first two full major league seasons. The speedy centre fielder is both a spectacular five-tool player and the darling of baseballs sabermetrics crowd, putting up old-fashioned highlights and statistical superlatives on a weekly basis. "I think everybody is obviously thrilled that it got done," Scioscia said at Dodger Stadium after the Angels exhibition game, which Trout missed with a stomach virus. "Hes a special player and a special person." The Millville, N.J., product was a unanimous choice for AL Rookie of the Year in 2012, and he finished second in AL MVP voting to Miguel Cabrera the past two years. He gets a $5 million signing bonus, of which $2 million is due within 30 days of the contracts approval and $3 million by Oct. 15. Trouts salaries are $5.25 million in 2015, $15.25 million in 2016, $19.25 million in 2017 and $33.25 million in each of the final three seasons. He receives a full-no trade provision and the right to a luxury suite at the ballpark for 20 games per year starting in 2015. Trouts deal came on the same day Cabrera finalized a $292 million, 10-year deal with the Detroit Tigers, the richest contract in American sports. The free-spending Angels were determined to reward Trout while locking up their prized possession beyond his first few years of eligibility for arbitration and free agency. Los Angeles has been quietly negotiating with Trouts representatives throughout spring training, and the club closed the deal three days before opening day at Angel Stadium. Trout agreed on Feb. 26 to a $1 million, one-year contract for 2014, much more than the Angels were required to offer him. His new deal runs from 2015-20. The outfielder would have been eligible for arbitration for the first time after this season, and for free agency following the 2017 World Series. Now, he cant become a free agent until at least age 29. Its the latest big-money deal for the Angels, who are entering the third season of a $240 million, 10-year contract with first baseman Albert Pujols, the second season of a $125 million, five-year agreement with outfielder Josh Hamilton and the third season of an $85 million, five-year contract with pitcher Jered Weaver. But while the Angels deals for Pujols and Hamilton have been criticized for their lavish nature and the thirty-something sluggers ensuing lack of production, Los Angeles is locking up Trout early in an uncommonly promising career. Trouts contract isnt worth as much as Cabreras lavish deal in Detroit, but it still would allow Trout to hit free agency at an age when he could still be in the prime of his career. And when his new deal ends, Trout will still be younger than the 30-year-old Cabrera is now. Trouts average salary of $24,083,333 under the new deal is ninth in the majors, trailing only those of Clayton Kershaw, Cabrera, Alex Rodriguez, Justin Verlander, Ryan Howard, Hamilton, Felix Hernandez and Zack Greinke. Trout is batting .314 with 62 homers and 196 RBIs in just 336 career games, including 40 games in 2011. The speedy centre fielder also has stolen 86 bases while playing stellar defence and making two All-Star teams, starting for the AL last summer. He is one of four players in baseball history to bat .320 with 50 homers and 200 runs in his first two full seasons, joining Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Pujols. Trout has accomplished just about everything except team success during his short major league career. The Angels have missed the playoffs in four consecutive seasons, and they finished 78-84 last year, their worst record in a decade. The deal provides huge security for Trout. He received a bonus of $1,215,000 when he signed after the Angels selected him with the 25th overall pick in the 2009 amateur draft. He made $482,500 two years ago and earned a $10,000 bonus for winning the rookie award, then was unilaterally renewed by the Angels last year at $510,000 -- $20,000 above the big league minimum at the time. That deal sparked criticism from many Angels fans who thought Trout deserved more compensation for his outstanding play. They also worried the relatively meagre deal -- and the Angels decision to move Trout from his preferred centre field to left last season -- might sour the budding superstar on the team. Trout is back in centre field this season, and Moreno made sure Trout couldnt doubt the Angels financial commitment to him.

Marian Hossa scored two goals and Chicago defeated Dallas 5-2. Patrick Sharp assisted on the Blackhawks first four goals. Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane also scored before Niklas Hjalmarsson finished the scoring with a short-handed empty-net goal. The Stars failed to score on any of their six power plays. Chicagos penalty-killing unit was ranked last in the NHL, but it was good enough to stop all of Dallas power-play chances. The Stars are 0 for 24 power plays at home this season. Hossa said the Blackhawks penalty killing is "definitely getting better and better, and were getting on the same page." "Technically, we didnt get a power-play goal," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said, "but (the Stars first goal) came at the end of one and it was still 5-on-4. "We had some good opportunities we didnt convert. We got some good looks that could have been a game-changer right there." In contrast, Kanes goal was just 23 seconds into Chicagos only power play of the game, 18:15 into the second period. It was the Blackhawks only shot with a man advantage. "It was frustrating with all of the penalties early," Sharp said. "We were patient and we capitalized on the power play. We knew it was going to come sooner than later." The Blackhawks used two short passes across the ice, from Sharp and Andrew Shaw to Kane, to set up that go-ahead goal at 18:15 of the second period. Dallas Cody Eakin had lost the puck on a one-man rush into the Chicago end. The Stars were late getting back before Kanes shot from the right circle beat Kari Lehtonen. "The changing point was on a turnover by myself," Eakin said. "We have to be a little sharper. I thought we played a good game, but we had a few too many turnovers." Ruff said: "They took advantage of a big mistake. We had a really big error on killing a penalty and should have walked out of the second period probably at 2-2. "In the end, we gave the game away, and that hurts." The Blackhawks took advantage. "Basically, it was one of those nights where special teams was the differential," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "Our penalty kill led the charge. It was a great goal for the power play. I thought overall we played a real strong game discounting thee penalties we took.dddddddddddd" Before that, the Blackhawks twice rallied from one-goal deficits. Hossa evened the score 1-1 in the first period with an assist from Toews across the goalmouth, after Eakin had scored for Dallas. Hossa said: "As soon as (Toews) got in position, I tried to find open space for putting the puck in the net, and he found me beautifully. He did an excellent job behind the goal." Eakin scored at the end of what was virtually a 4-minute power play because of consecutive minor penalties against Chicago. Hjalmarsson had barely returned to the ice from serving a tripping penalty when Trevor Daley took a backhand shot. Chicago goalie Corey Crawford tried to control the rebound, but Dallas Shawn Horcoff and Eakin poked at the puck and it crossed the goal line. Crawford finished with 31 saves. Eakin scored at 6:10, 2 seconds after Hjalmarssons penalty had expired. He had gone into the penalty box just 1 second after teammate Brandon Saads high sticking penalty ended. Chicagos late first-period rally pulled the Blackhawks within one shot on goal of the Stars at 11-10. In the second period, Dallas continued to put pressure on Crawford. It paid off at 6:54. Tyler Seguin took a pass from Jamie Benn and fired in a shot from an angle low in the right faceoff circle. The Blackhawks continued to frustrate the Stars power play, killing off two more in the period. Chicago tied the score 2-2 at 10:19. Lehtonen stopped a short-range shot by Toews, but Toews manoeuvred around defenceman Brenden Dillon to knock in his own rebound. Lehtonen finished with 26 saves. Sharp credited his teammates for his four assists. "One of those nights where you try to make the right play, and my linemates were putting the puck in the net." Dallas goalie stopped a breakaway by Kane 23 seconds before the period ended. The final two goals came 34 seconds apart in the third period. Hossa scored on a breakaway, and Hjalmarsson followed with a shot the length of the ice for his empty-net goal at 18:53. Notes: The Stars finished with a 33-31 advantage in shots. .
