MLB suspends Trevor Bauer for two seasons - UPD: arbitrator rules suspension is over & DFA'd

[Voight]

Hard no. The guy is a PR hot potato even before considering these incidents. Add in stuff like the Drone Incident, his lack of a filter in regards to the media and fans on social media, and his reputation of being a locker room cancer, it is understandable that teams are staying far away from him.

Plus in regards to the Jays, I don't think we would even be an option. Based on how he acted towards the Jays and Canada while he played in Cleveland and his very opinionated political comments would probaly remove the Jays as an option as a whole.

Personally I could give a crap about a players political opinions if they're good. Which he is.

RE bolded I wouldn't be so sure. I think at this point he'd sign with any team.

Yes, but you're not playing the role of an easily fake-offended turdmonkey on the internet, which basically describes more than 75% of social media.

Truer words have never been said.

I've been really enjoying these pitching shorts that Bauer posts on YouTube, and I gotta say, I just don't understand the hate some people have for the guy...




The Jays should have signed him months ago!

I think everyone does understand unless they choose not to.

I just don't understand the hate some people have for the guy

Maybe because he's an insufferable asshole who thinks his ego supersedes his team and has shown on numerous occasions to have incredibly poor judgement?

I guess I'm not following his journey quite as closely as you seem to be...

Typical pro athletes don't receive 0 interest from every team in their league despite being above average at their sport so no

'not following his journey closely,' sir, you're in a years-old thread about him, specifically.

he's not on a team because everyone thinks he's a dick and doesn't want him in their clubhouse. usually, if you think someone is an asshole, you're not getting yourself up to work with them and deal with his/her shit.

Sharing his pitching videos...

Beyond the false allegation that lead to his suspension, I haven't been following his journey as closely as some to be aware that he's an insufferable asshole who thinks his ego supersedes his team and has shown on numerous occasions to have incredibly poor judgement

What's he done that's so bad?

Just one example:

Trevor Bauer's drone did some seriously disgusting damage to his finger

NOPE.

ftw.usatoday.com

Left his next start (in the ALCS) after 2/3 of an inning when the stitches burst. He's shown he has rocks in his head.

I had no idea he was such a monster!!!


This begs the question... if you had a time machine, would you go back and kill baby Bauer?

When you can't refute an example of bad judgment, make an incredibly stupid joke. Got it.
