Bottom line. If you say he was set up why did he fall in? He didn’t have to. He’s reckless. He’s a narcissist and sociopath. He’s a millionaire who no one should feel sorry for. Got paid 22 million last year by the Dodgers for nothing. He’s doing well.
@@jdsthird okay but what has he done to need to be remorseful? he hasn't done the things he's accused of, and outside of having a personality deemed "incorrect" by some, he's done nothing even remotely wrong. MLB players are paid to play baseball, not make people feel warm and fuzzy inside
There's zero excuses for him not to be in the Bigs. The players, the fans and certainly his performance all say the same thing. I haven't seen nor heard a single reason that says otherwise. He would single handedly increase sales as well as performance for any team that signs him.
His content is the best in all athletics. Where else does a fan get to see into the mind of the best? The way he walks us through his between starts routines as well as his pitch by pitch thought process is unmatched anywhere. If manfried thinks tb is bad for the game then its only because he let his little feelings get hurt when he was rightfully called out for his shenanigans.
So Bauer is dominating AA-AAA players in a hitter friendly league but can't even get a look from MLB teams?? Something is absolutely amiss. I hope he sues the SH*T out of Manfred, the Dodgers, and the MLB.
You cannot blame the Dodgers . They got stuck with his contract in the end and were forced by MLB brass to go with the way this went. The MLB thing . We are getting closer to that for sure but it all works itself out when the let the guy play again. Time will end this debate soon I feel.
He's basically blacklister from playing in any MLB team thanks to Manfred. Trevor even tells you without telling you in one of his RUclips videos. Where he just gets presented in his Mexican club.
14 strike outs and 19 strike outs in the same week. Mostly pitching in extreme elevation where hitters have an extreme advantage against him when their hits go further and Trevor's pitches have no bite. That's a dominate showing by any measure and he's more than worthy of being in the show.
Yes, he definitely deserves to be signed in the MLB, this is the season with the most former Big Leagers in Mexico, so there's a lot of experienced players right now, sure not at their peaks but competence level is rising again.
Trev is being blackballed. There's no other conclusion you can come to. Watch Trev's videos talking about how his pitches play differently at different altitudes, and how he changes according to venue. It's a testament to his repertoire and approach. He's not going to come back to MLB and parallel his Mexican league stats. But he'd be in the top 20% of starters again in the bigs. Seeing Keuchel get acquired for a bag a balls yesterday while Trev is eating tacos and riding buses is a tragicomedy.
Bauer can still pitch at a MLB level. I’ve been surprised at how many players I’ve recognized in the Mexican League. Voit, Cano, Aquino and Tejada to name a few. One of the biggest differences between the leagues is defense, which would favor Bauer coming back. Not sure if they use humidors like they do in MLB (which has nullified power in Colorado). I’d expect Bauer to better than average with an ERA between 3.00 to 3.50. The lack of extreme elevation would help his consistency with grips and command as well. He is a bargain for league minimum and an arm without an innings limit. The next best option for available arms is Fedde, who spent last year dominating in the KBO, winning their version of Cy Young and MVP. Bauer is a better talent. Fedde is a better teammate.
I think when he does come back we will see a man who is pitching out of this world . A dude with a chip on his shoulder as big as the Green Monster and with nothing but striking out batters on his mind. I expect a few years where Bauer is really dominate upon a comeback . He is that good.
It’s crazy how much he has going against him in Mexico from a pitcher stand point. High elevation means extended ball flights, less spin on pitches, and he’s got a worse defense. Smoltz used to say pitching in the minors was more difficult because you couldn’t set those batters up for strikeouts since they swung at everything.
Even if LMB is AAA/AA, Trevor is still breaking records and going for the triple crown down there. You never know how well he'd perform in the majors until he gets there. But he is definitely good enough to justify a call up. That's what I really object to. They aren't giving him a chance to prove it. And that's absurd.
I don’t get the long lecture on the superiority of the MLB. Yes it’s the best league, yes the Mexican league is a step or two down. But TB was a CY award winner, he was never injured. He’s still a baller and it’s showing against weaker comp. Sign Bauer!
So Trevor is playing in all these leagues, but none of them are comparable to MLB, which makes it close to impossible to consider his performances? Like where do you want Trevor to play so he can be considered for a big league contract?
Somebody please sign Trevor. At least put him at double or triple a for awhile and let him prove himself. He's innocent from what that evil woman put him thru. He won't disappoint.
I do not think that is something he would come up for. AAA is not his level either . When he comes up he will probably start within a day or two of him coming up. He won't ever see AAA again. unless he gets hurt.
The league could have such a redemption story on this one, which would make them look better, yet manfried has doubled down on his bullshit and Trevor may never pitch in the league again.
@@2005StangMan Yeah I can't stand Manfred. Just a rich boy who couldn't swing a bat if his life depended on it. Yet he's making calls on the league. Ridiculous.
Cade looked pretty good...even tho he didnt get through 6 he had good stuff...he didnt get no run support but I'll take that outing every day of the week...glad Heston got some AB's...he looked good too...stayed back on the ball and put it in left...Hope he sticks this time
Bauer belongs in MLB. Rob Manfred continuing to blackball him because Trevor embarrassed MLB Brass over pitcher cheating is pathetic and really a big eff u to fans. Again, Bauer belongs in MLB.
Watch his videos and see how interacts with its other pitchers on the staff. His coaching ability alone would be worth the hassle from those who wake up being upset!
I would really enjoy it if Greenberg and Hinch came together to ge Bauer in Detroit. He’s already said he would take league minimum. And to get someone of Bauers elite status next to Skubal in the starting rotation would be nothing short of dominant.
I think he could be back in the mlb and be a great pitcher, he’s said it himself he is better than when he left the league years ago. I think if he gets a shot he will be a contender as a pitcher in the bigs
Flat out seems like you are just sour grapes man. The www. pops who are the very same who made this man guilty before looking beyond the accusations. To cavoite 19K in 7 innings in any professional baseball league is ridiculous. No one believes the Mexican League is as competitive as the MLB and still what Trevor Bauer is proving is that there is no way the MLB could ever argue he does not belong in the MLB as a talent now that he has dominated in 2 professional leagues and seems to be getting better as time is passing not worse. There is no argument anymore against Bauer playing in the Bigs again. None that truly matter to baseball anymore. Cleared means he did nothing we can judge the man for. Adults do adult things and that is their business and when someone intentionally use someone's fame to attempt to enrich themselves is the worst type of people. So using any of that anymore is the same as aiding and abetting fraud really . With him being cleared of all wrongdoing by the LAW there is no more room for speculative ramshackle we have heard over and over again for the entre Bauer debate began. Of course this happened in a Mexican League. However even in a sub league you can track his pitches and read the data and what he is doing there now and last year in Japan is as good as MLB diamond stuff in 2024. Trevor Bauer is so much better than Mexican Baseball he is putting up insane numbers. That only proves that he is to big for that league and belongs with the rest of the best in the world. If you dislike the man then that is your right. However instead of trying to stand in the way of Bauer playing again go boo him and cheer against him on the mound. It will be WAY more fun than this online debate and we will get to see some great pitches. We can all get along again ! LETS PLAY BALL! He still falls under the contract with the MLB players Association and you should know that Ripken . He has both cleared his name of any wrongdoing and proven he is still one of the best starting right handed pitchers in baseball through 2 leagues. It would cost the MLB a lot of money to not help him get work soon under these realities and under the Players Association bylaws themself. I know the anti Bauer voices simply do not want to admit they brought the pitch forks and torches out to soon and may never concede. They do not have to because the truth is those who have been the loudest against Bauer really have no real power to stop this from happening anymore. They had their many years of tantrums and unsubstantiated accusations they all had feelings over. That time has past. You lost get over it. If you dislike Bauer still by all means boo him when he plays against your team. Cheer for your guys to hit him and let it all play out in the GAMES . He is fun to watch pitch and right now baseball could use a injection of fun.
Isn't America all about 2nd chances? Michael Vick even went to prison, asked for forgiveness, then got a job back in the NFL. MLB is really messed up in not giving guys a 2nd chance. Heck, even the owner of the Dodger's, Magic Johnson, would engage in much worse things after NBA games (when he was a player), than what Trevor did.
when you hear the chatter from owners about the bad reputation, I call bullsh......it was never discussed when Chapman was signed by the the Royals and Pirates and he absolutely should have been convicted.
That chick ruined his life and she intentionally targeted him. Jail for her. The only other concerns for any MLB team is the circus it will bring and hopefully, he has toned-down his antics just a little. Also not sure what type of clubhouse teammate he is. You never know. Should be in the bigs in my opinion.
I don't think this has anything to do with Bauer's ability to pitch. It's all about the "distraction" he would bring to the team. Bauer was an oddball even without the controversy that got him suspended. All 30 teams have concluded that he's not worth the noise he would bring with him.
Yeah but he’d be in the league if it weren’t for the false rape allegations. Since that’s been dismissed and shown to be a total scam it’s not right no one is taking a shot on him.
@@DikembeMutumbo I heard this topic discussed this morning on the Fan. They were never "dismissed", Bauer settled out of court. He paid them. And only one of the accusers turned out to be a "total scam", NOT all of them. Plus most teams believe that there are other victims out there and once he signs with a team, they will probably come out. And Bauer was never liked by his teammates in any of the teams he played for even without all this. He has always been an oddball.
@@CamKrazy2000 that’s not the way ive been reading it. They settled because he wanted to release her messages exonerating him, had they gone to trial they may not have been release-able.
@@CamKrazy2000 the one I saw literally googled how to extort him and another I think was just found guilty for something wild like felony embezzlement in another case. This is a textbook pile on the easily offended crowd does. Look at Russell Brand, that Supreme Court dude, Trump, etc. etc. All the other minor things that may make him not a great boyfriend or chooser of women don’t make him more or less guilty of the actual crime that’s punishable by law. Also lots of times rich people will settle just to make the court headache go away, doesn’t mean guilty at all.
@@DikembeMutumbo Who the F cares unless you're Bauer or his attorney? O's are just one of 30 teams and NONE of the other 29 team want him on their teams either. Right now O's are 3rd in starters ERA which means there are 27 teams that need Bauer more than O's, get it? Bauer is FINISHED as a big league player whether you like it or not, move on. And don't assume you know all the details. I'm sure all big league teams have a lot more information about Bauer's problems that we don't know about.
He should have been signed before spring training AND given an apology from Manfred, who needs a one-way ticket to a slum in China, the Dodgers and all the rock throwers. Collusion is OBVIOUSLY in play here otherwise he'd be in the show yesterday.
Even if this Mexican league is not as good as the MLB (duh) the elevation makes it a NON pitchers league and. Sure is crushing it! He deserves a shot but won’t get one be wise of the stigma . Such a shame.
Of course he should be in MLB. The commissioner has him blacklisted. He has no chance of getting back. There are so many teams he could help. My very cheap Guardians would be a good fit. He will play for league minimum. They are desperate for starting pitching. He could easily help them a ton.
It would seem that there should be a lot of teams interested in like Oakland . What do you got to lose really . especially when you can get his kind of talent cheap
Zero interest in Oakland. I would not think Bauer should even consider a media market on the West coast . Just to keep his head down a smaller market would probably be a smart move . Baltimore would be about as big of a place as would fit him right now in my opinion. The entire NL north could also fit that type of spot fit . Will be fun to find out when it happens.
@@jesusoftheapes I believe there's a market for him . I also don't think he cares totally about money anymore I think he just wants to pitch . From what I've heard he was hard to get a long with . But so what if your one of the many struggling teams in baseball he sells tickets and offers fans a glimmer of hope . I really do hope he gets back into the league no matter where it is .
Accounts of Who? I've seen plenty of MLB players say he's a great guy, he seemed extremely popular with the Baystar players and the evidence is that the Diablos's all like him. If I had a young pitching class, his insight alone would be worth the paycheck, let alone his own pitching.
Yes, he should be an Oriole if need be I will be his babysitter. I have known him since he was a UCLA, type A competitor just needs a touch of direction at times but even balls to the wall Bauer realizes his time for being an MLB player only has a couple years left.
I'm no shrink, but it seems he has an organic type of mental disorder, perhaps autism. It's annoying at times. Lots of times. I hate when he's making wagerless bets and closing one eye while pitching. He should see the potential disaster that could arise from doing those things. I would like to see the manager tell him to knock it off and see how he reacts. Not sure if he is showing off or just making content for RUclips. I have also seen him help other pitchers and he is a hit with the fans wherever he goes. Overall, he's good for baseball. He constantly thinks of ways to improve the game and has some interesting ideas. Who else is doing that? Because these Gen Zs and those behind them, seem to be less and less baseball fans. Trevor has their ear and the tech skills to draw them in. I can see where regular major leaguers won't like him. If a group of guys can't make the adjustment and accept him with his quirks, he won't last. Forcing him into the mold is impossible. He does care about team mates and the team. He's just stuck on himself at times. Finally, he's a monster on the mound. Absolutely destroying that league and they are a blast to watch. In the end, That's what it's about. He's good for the game. and that is good for all players.
One thing to note is that the training and conditioning techniques that were often the primary sources of his estrangement from his teammates in the MLB have become accepted practice in many bullpens. He isn't going to be the odd duck in regards to that, but i do think he needs some sort of sports psychologist to help him out with his more childish impulses. It's not uncommon for him to be cussing up a storm to himself about some technical aspect of his game in the midst of a quality start.
All of the top athletes in pro sports would be found on some part of the spectrum if you really got into it. That relentless devotion to their craft over and above everything else in life isn’t natural, but it’s what it takes to go from highly skilled player to elite.
As a Dodger fan I feel like Bauer robbed the Dodger Fans. Even messing with some known baseball groupie putting your contract and the success of the club in danger was extremely selfish and irresponsible.
19 strikeouts in a AAA game would pull you to the majors the next week...
14 & 19 within a week or two
Exactly... It's a sham he's not back in there.
And this makes his ERA even more impressive when you're talking about that elevation. Not only carry but movement suffers, too.
But Trevor likes to talk and he isn't afraid to say when he disagrees with what MLB does.
If any other pitcher in the Mexican league was pitching like him every mlb team would be trying to sign them
There is a debate if Bauer should be in the majors? Where, and who?
Its a hitters league and Trevor has dominated he needs to be in MLB.
Bauer deserves another chance at The Show.

@@farpointgamingdirect Everyone needs accountability. He said himself he hurt a lot of people. That’s his own words.
@@jdsthird okay but what has he done to need to be remorseful? he hasn't done the things he's accused of, and outside of having a personality deemed "incorrect" by some, he's done nothing even remotely wrong. MLB players are paid to play baseball, not make people feel warm and fuzzy inside
@@ryan.8783 If he said he hurt a lot of people isn’t it natural to feel remorse for this? I don’t understand what’s so difficult to figure out.
There's zero excuses for him not to be in the Bigs. The players, the fans and certainly his performance all say the same thing. I haven't seen nor heard a single reason that says otherwise. He would single handedly increase sales as well as performance for any team that signs him.
Not just elevation is effecting the ball; humidity. High Humidity makes the ball sale. The combo makes it even crazier ...
It also flattens out the pitches making it even harder for them to get good action, making this even more impressive.
His content is the best in all athletics. Where else does a fan get to see into the mind of the best? The way he walks us through his between starts routines as well as his pitch by pitch thought process is unmatched anywhere. If manfried thinks tb is bad for the game then its only because he let his little feelings get hurt when he was rightfully called out for his shenanigans.
So Bauer is dominating AA-AAA players in a hitter friendly league but can't even get a look from MLB teams?? Something is absolutely amiss. I hope he sues the SH*T out of Manfred, the Dodgers, and the MLB.
You cannot blame the Dodgers . They got stuck with his contract in the end and were forced by MLB brass to go with the way this went. The MLB thing . We are getting closer to that for sure but it all works itself out when the let the guy play again. Time will end this debate soon I feel.
He's basically blacklister from playing in any MLB team thanks to Manfred. Trevor even tells you without telling you in one of his RUclips videos. Where he just gets presented in his Mexican club.
14 strike outs and 19 strike outs in the same week. Mostly pitching in extreme elevation where hitters have an extreme advantage against him when their hits go further and Trevor's pitches have no bite.
That's a dominate showing by any measure and he's more than worthy of being in the show.
Bauer needs to be in MLB.
Yes, he definitely deserves to be signed in the MLB, this is the season with the most former Big Leagers in Mexico, so there's a lot of experienced players right now, sure not at their peaks but competence level is rising again.
The Braves need to get him.
Cano hitting over 400 at his age is crazy idgaf if it is a lower league
Well, they might not have the steroid tests like the MLB did isn’t that how he got kicked out?
Trev is being blackballed. There's no other conclusion you can come to. Watch Trev's videos talking about how his pitches play differently at different altitudes, and how he changes according to venue. It's a testament to his repertoire and approach. He's not going to come back to MLB and parallel his Mexican league stats. But he'd be in the top 20% of starters again in the bigs. Seeing Keuchel get acquired for a bag a balls yesterday while Trev is eating tacos and riding buses is a tragicomedy.
Oh let’s just skirt the most important question at hand that the entire fkin problem people refuse to stand up and speak out for Bauer
Bring him in !!!!
Bauer can still pitch at a MLB level. I’ve been surprised at how many players I’ve recognized in the Mexican League. Voit, Cano, Aquino and Tejada to name a few. One of the biggest differences between the leagues is defense, which would favor Bauer coming back. Not sure if they use humidors like they do in MLB (which has nullified power in Colorado). I’d expect Bauer to better than average with an ERA between 3.00 to 3.50. The lack of extreme elevation would help his consistency with grips and command as well. He is a bargain for league minimum and an arm without an innings limit. The next best option for available arms is Fedde, who spent last year dominating in the KBO, winning their version of Cy Young and MVP. Bauer is a better talent. Fedde is a better teammate.
I think when he does come back we will see a man who is pitching out of this world . A dude with a chip on his shoulder as big as the Green Monster and with nothing but striking out batters on his mind. I expect a few years where Bauer is really dominate upon a comeback . He is that good.
It’s crazy how much he has going against him in Mexico from a pitcher stand point. High elevation means extended ball flights, less spin on pitches, and he’s got a worse defense. Smoltz used to say pitching in the minors was more difficult because you couldn’t set those batters up for strikeouts since they swung at everything.
Even if LMB is AAA/AA, Trevor is still breaking records and going for the triple crown down there. You never know how well he'd perform in the majors until he gets there. But he is definitely good enough to justify a call up.
That's what I really object to. They aren't giving him a chance to prove it. And that's absurd.
They literally had one or two sentences about Trevor!!
Video should be titled "Explaining Trevor Bauer's performance without explaining Trevor Bauer's performance".
I don’t get the long lecture on the superiority of the MLB. Yes it’s the best league, yes the Mexican league is a step or two down. But TB was a CY award winner, he was never injured. He’s still a baller and it’s showing against weaker comp. Sign Bauer!
Os need to sign him ASAP
So Trevor is playing in all these leagues, but none of them are comparable to MLB, which makes it close to impossible to consider his performances? Like where do you want Trevor to play so he can be considered for a big league contract?
Somebody please sign Trevor. At least put him at double or triple a for awhile and let him prove himself. He's innocent from what that evil woman put him thru. He won't disappoint.
I do not think that is something he would come up for. AAA is not his level either . When he comes up he will probably start within a day or two of him coming up. He won't ever see AAA again. unless he gets hurt.
No need for minors. He's essentially showing his minors tryout in Mexico.
The league could have such a redemption story on this one, which would make them look better, yet manfried has doubled down on his bullshit and Trevor may never pitch in the league again.
@@2005StangMan Yeah I can't stand Manfred. Just a rich boy who couldn't swing a bat if his life depended on it. Yet he's making calls on the league. Ridiculous.
Cade looked pretty good...even tho he didnt get through 6
he had good stuff...he didnt get no run support but I'll take
that outing every day of the week...glad Heston got some
AB's...he looked good too...stayed back on the ball and
put it in left...Hope he sticks this time
He is still undefeated in Mexico, amazing guy!
He's not just doing "kinda good" he's setting records
Bauer belongs in MLB. Rob Manfred continuing to blackball him because Trevor embarrassed MLB Brass over pitcher cheating is pathetic and really a big eff u to fans. Again, Bauer belongs in MLB.
Sign him NOW!!!!
I hope the orioles sign him
Imagine Any other pitcher in the LMB having the type ofseason that Bauer is having…there would be teams jumping over each other trying to sign him
Trevor did well in Japan as well , he was very well popular there aa well .
Watch his videos and see how interacts with its other pitchers on the staff. His coaching ability alone would be worth the hassle from those who wake up being upset!
The ball doesn’t have as much movement at altitude either
I would really enjoy it if Greenberg and Hinch came together to ge Bauer in Detroit. He’s already said he would take league minimum. And to get someone of Bauers elite status next to Skubal in the starting rotation would be nothing short of dominant.
If the Eagles could sign Vick, the Phillies can sign Bauer
There is a debate if Bauer should be in the majors? Where, and who?
The Boston Red Sox should and must sign Trevor Bauer. He would bring so much to the staff, assisting the pitching coach with a different perspective.
I think he could be back in the mlb and be a great pitcher, he’s said it himself he is better than when he left the league years ago. I think if he gets a shot he will be a contender as a pitcher in the bigs
Mlb the show ledgend micky jannis
Yes period!
at altitude, ball flies, but pitches break less as well
How about with the way he pitched against the Yankees this year???
Flat out seems like you are just sour grapes man. The www. pops who are the very same who made this man guilty before looking beyond the accusations. To cavoite 19K in 7 innings in any professional baseball league is ridiculous. No one believes the Mexican League is as competitive as the MLB and still what Trevor Bauer is proving is that there is no way the MLB could ever argue he does not belong in the MLB as a talent now that he has dominated in 2 professional leagues and seems to be getting better as time is passing not worse. There is no argument anymore against Bauer playing in the Bigs again. None that truly matter to baseball anymore. Cleared means he did nothing we can judge the man for. Adults do adult things and that is their business and when someone intentionally use someone's fame to attempt to enrich themselves is the worst type of people. So using any of that anymore is the same as aiding and abetting fraud really . With him being cleared of all wrongdoing by the LAW there is no more room for speculative ramshackle we have heard over and over again for the entre Bauer debate began. Of course this happened in a Mexican League. However even in a sub league you can track his pitches and read the data and what he is doing there now and last year in Japan is as good as MLB diamond stuff in 2024. Trevor Bauer is so much better than Mexican Baseball he is putting up insane numbers. That only proves that he is to big for that league and belongs with the rest of the best in the world. If you dislike the man then that is your right. However instead of trying to stand in the way of Bauer playing again go boo him and cheer against him on the mound. It will be WAY more fun than this online debate and we will get to see some great pitches. We can all get along again ! LETS PLAY BALL! He still falls under the contract with the MLB players Association and you should know that Ripken . He has both cleared his name of any wrongdoing and proven he is still one of the best starting right handed pitchers in baseball through 2 leagues. It would cost the MLB a lot of money to not help him get work soon under these realities and under the Players Association bylaws themself. I know the anti Bauer voices simply do not want to admit they brought the pitch forks and torches out to soon and may never concede. They do not have to because the truth is those who have been the loudest against Bauer really have no real power to stop this from happening anymore. They had their many years of tantrums and unsubstantiated accusations they all had feelings over. That time has past. You lost get over it. If you dislike Bauer still by all means boo him when he plays against your team. Cheer for your guys to hit him and let it all play out in the GAMES . He is fun to watch pitch and right now baseball could use a injection of fun.
Let the Mets have him, so that we can go to the playoff!
Isn't America all about 2nd chances? Michael Vick even went to prison, asked for forgiveness, then got a job back in the NFL. MLB is really messed up in not giving guys a 2nd chance.
Heck, even the owner of the Dodger's, Magic Johnson, would engage in much worse things after NBA games (when he was a player), than what Trevor did.
when you hear the chatter from owners about the bad reputation, I call bullsh......it was never discussed when Chapman was signed by the the Royals and Pirates and he absolutely should have been convicted.
Ripken with a terrible take here not surprised
1 of his accusers is going to jail for blackmailing him.
Trade for Fette, sign Bauer, trade Basallo for Miller straight up, and send Irvin with Suarez back to BP
That chick ruined his life and she intentionally targeted him. Jail for her. The only other concerns for any MLB team is the circus it will bring and hopefully, he has toned-down his antics just a little. Also not sure what type of clubhouse teammate he is. You never know. Should be in the bigs in my opinion.
Lets bring in Robinson Cano too
Yea at elevation pitchers have almost 20% of normal movements on pitches so you have zero chance to show ur movement
What we are seeing is the fascism of the commissioner's office.
I don't think this has anything to do with Bauer's ability to pitch. It's all about the "distraction" he would bring to the team. Bauer was an oddball even without the controversy that got him suspended. All 30 teams have concluded that he's not worth the noise he would bring with him.
Yeah but he’d be in the league if it weren’t for the false rape allegations. Since that’s been dismissed and shown to be a total scam it’s not right no one is taking a shot on him.
@@DikembeMutumbo I heard this topic discussed this morning on the Fan. They were never "dismissed", Bauer settled out of court. He paid them. And only one of the accusers turned out to be a "total scam", NOT all of them. Plus most teams believe that there are other victims out there and once he signs with a team, they will probably come out. And Bauer was never liked by his teammates in any of the teams he played for even without all this. He has always been an oddball.
@@CamKrazy2000 that’s not the way ive been reading it. They settled because he wanted to release her messages exonerating him, had they gone to trial they may not have been release-able.
@@CamKrazy2000 the one I saw literally googled how to extort him and another I think was just found guilty for something wild like felony embezzlement in another case. This is a textbook pile on the easily offended crowd does. Look at Russell Brand, that Supreme Court dude, Trump, etc. etc. All the other minor things that may make him not a great boyfriend or chooser of women don’t make him more or less guilty of the actual crime that’s punishable by law. Also lots of times rich people will settle just to make the court headache go away, doesn’t mean guilty at all.
@@DikembeMutumbo Who the F cares unless you're Bauer or his attorney? O's are just one of 30 teams and NONE of the other 29 team want him on their teams either. Right now O's are 3rd in starters ERA which means there are 27 teams that need Bauer more than O's, get it? Bauer is FINISHED as a big league player whether you like it or not, move on. And don't assume you know all the details. I'm sure all big league teams have a lot more information about Bauer's problems that we don't know about.
Would love to see Bauer on orioles
I wish the Mets would sign him!!!!
I would love to see TB sue the MLB and win a TON of CASH.
He should have been signed before spring training AND given an apology from Manfred, who needs a one-way ticket to a slum in China, the Dodgers and all the rock throwers. Collusion is OBVIOUSLY in play here otherwise he'd be in the show yesterday.
It’s a travesty that Trev isn’t in mlb, being blackballed for no good reason
He deserves to be back in the major leagues. If he doesn't get there, I'm sure he will Sue.M l b for a lot of money and win
Rip is a Hater
The only thing he’s guilty of is the women he’s choosing to sleep with. If he’s pitching at an MLB level than he should be in the Show
Don’t put you dick in crazy. Amen
He was never charged give him a chance.
Even if this Mexican league is not as good as the MLB (duh) the elevation makes it a NON pitchers league and. Sure is crushing it! He deserves a shot but won’t get one be wise of the stigma . Such a shame.
Let's compare the Dodgers, MLB and MLBPA treatment of Shohei Ohtani Vs Trevor Bauer. And there is the why he will never comeback to the Big Leagues?
Of course he should be in MLB. The commissioner has him blacklisted. He has no chance of getting back. There are so many teams he could help. My very cheap Guardians would be a good fit. He will play for league minimum. They are desperate for starting pitching. He could easily help them a ton.
SWORD!
Sign him. He did nothing wrong
It would seem that there should be a lot of teams interested in like Oakland . What do you got to lose really . especially when you can get his kind of talent cheap
Zero interest in Oakland. I would not think Bauer should even consider a media market on the West coast . Just to keep his head down a smaller market would probably be a smart move . Baltimore would be about as big of a place as would fit him right now in my opinion. The entire NL north could also fit that type of spot fit . Will be fun to find out when it happens.
@@jesusoftheapes I believe there's a market for him . I also don't think he cares totally about money anymore I think he just wants to pitch . From what I've heard he was hard to get a long with . But so what if your one of the many struggling teams in baseball he sells tickets and offers fans a glimmer of hope . I really do hope he gets back into the league no matter where it is .
By all accounts he was an a-hole before all the controversy happened. That's why I don't want the O's to sign him.
Accounts of Who? I've seen plenty of MLB players say he's a great guy, he seemed extremely popular with the Baystar players and the evidence is that the Diablos's all like him.
If I had a young pitching class, his insight alone would be worth the paycheck, let alone his own pitching.
The league is full of asshole players, that’s not the damn reason.
If he was such a massive problem, why did the Dodgers sign him to a huge contract in the first place.
Just do it o's!
Yes, he should be an Oriole if need be I will be his babysitter. I have known him since he was a UCLA, type A competitor just needs a touch of direction at times but even balls to the wall Bauer realizes his time for being an MLB player only has a couple years left.
Red Sox need him
#texasrangers... nuff said
Let Bauer pitch in WokeMLB again.
Dodgers get first dibs
mexico beat usa in wbc though
I'm no shrink, but it seems he has an organic type of mental disorder, perhaps autism. It's annoying at times. Lots of times. I hate when he's making wagerless bets and closing one eye while pitching. He should see the potential disaster that could arise from doing those things. I would like to see the manager tell him to knock it off and see how he reacts. Not sure if he is showing off or just making content for RUclips. I have also seen him help other pitchers and he is a hit with the fans wherever he goes. Overall, he's good for baseball. He constantly thinks of ways to improve the game and has some interesting ideas. Who else is doing that? Because these Gen Zs and those behind them, seem to be less and less baseball fans. Trevor has their ear and the tech skills to draw them in. I can see where regular major leaguers won't like him. If a group of guys can't make the adjustment and accept him with his quirks, he won't last. Forcing him into the mold is impossible. He does care about team mates and the team. He's just stuck on himself at times. Finally, he's a monster on the mound. Absolutely destroying that league and they are a blast to watch. In the end, That's what it's about. He's good for the game. and that is good for all players.
One thing to note is that the training and conditioning techniques that were often the primary sources of his estrangement from his teammates in the MLB have become accepted practice in many bullpens. He isn't going to be the odd duck in regards to that, but i do think he needs some sort of sports psychologist to help him out with his more childish impulses. It's not uncommon for him to be cussing up a storm to himself about some technical aspect of his game in the midst of a quality start.
@@joeldykman7591 yeah I listend to his early years. Definite autist vibes.
All of the top athletes in pro sports would be found on some part of the spectrum if you really got into it. That relentless devotion to their craft over and above everything else in life isn’t natural, but it’s what it takes to go from highly skilled player to elite.
He should sign a long term contract in Mexico and stay there. He’ll never play in MLB again.
as you can see, no one gives a shit what you think. You are clueless.
As a Dodger fan I feel like Bauer robbed the Dodger Fans. Even messing with some known baseball groupie putting your contract and the success of the club in danger was extremely selfish and irresponsible.
You are literally describing every pro-athlete for the past 100 years.
given how many teams need pitching and he still isnt signed by anyone, it's not happening. his MLB career is done.
No.
YES!
He’s definitely better than Swerving Cole Irwin. How long is the O’s going to keep trotting that bum out there? #signtrevorbauer
Hell Yes,he should !!
So saying it’s triple level? What the fuck mlb is the only professional league? No one would sign him or he’d be doing the same thing in mlb
