Trout probably doesn't care as much cause his team is average/sucky right now. Harper is on a team that is competitive and expected to challenge for division titles or at least a playoff spot. When you know you aren't going anywhere why bust your ass? Everyone already knows Trout is a 5 tool player. He's got a dude that's closer to 40 and batting .180 protecting him in the lineup right now. 99% of people in that situation wouldn't bust their ass. Harper is in a much better spot right now, better team, better lineup, better incentive to put up numbers but I'd rather build a team around Trout given the option of the two. Harper is a drama queen.
