Did Paul O'neill really deserve a plaque in Monument Park? Sure, he was a solid (not great) player for 8 seasons in NYC.

But his jersey is now retired? Never expected that.

And even given their difference in length of life, a fair number of people would opt to be the guy on the left

Astros trade package to land Angels' Mike Trout
Trout is in his 12th season with the Angels. For most of that time, he has been the absolute best player in the MLB. Though he has dealt with injuries over the last few seasons, he's still one of the best to play baseball today. He will be ranked among the absolute best MLB players, perhaps the best, by the time his career is done.

However, fans of baseball needs to see Mike Trout play October baseball. That is something the Angels haven't managed to do despite having Trout and superstar Shohei Ohtani. This is why the Angels might entertain trading Trout. This would be the best way to set up a rebuild or a quick rebuild. The Houston Astros need a centerfielder or left fielder and have the ability to pay Trout's contract and prospect cost.

You could be an actual MLB GM.

Trade for a guy in his 12th season.  Let's give him a new 10-year deal.  Let's let his contract be an albatross for our franchise years after he's stopped contributing.

Wow, another valid candidate to be an MLB GM!  

Players produce from 20 to 30.  They regress from 30 to 40.  Paying more for the regression is stupidity.  The Pujols deal.  The Cano deal.  
I don't care if your payroll is last in the league - DO NOT SIGN A FAT 10 YEAR DEAL TO A 30+ YEAR OLD.
