Trevor Bauer and Moustakas became FA

[Krylian]

Dude can you stop it with this crap. Jays won’t sign him

 

Texas is a State that can accept a Bauer signing

[peterkim]

thats what we had to do instead of 1 year good player vasho

Close the thread

[connorp]

I saw a Pittsburg newspaper called for his signing. I didn’t Google to see if it was a major one, looked it. Good to have a paper on your side. That would be a good spot for him. Blue collar city, nobody goes to see them play anyway

Thread Closed.

Sexual assault aside, Bauer is a psycho douchebag headcase who would quickly poison the clubhouse vibe. Winning is nice but we also need to create a clubhouse where Vlad and Bo want to stay long term.

 

Fun fact, Dr. Dinger worked as a towel boy for the Dodgers, so he definitely knows this for sure

[Boxcar]

No worries, Shatkins have morals. They don't want that douchebag near their players.

Believe it or not, a lot of people are brought up with having morals, nothing to do about being heroes.

This thread and all Bauer talk has went awfully silent. Do posters here still think Bauer ever throws another pitch in MLB?

Yes.

We only passed Stage 1. Signing before the season. It would make a lot of sense why you wouldn’t because of all the negative media attention and the constant questions while getting ready for the season.

 

I think step two will be May 1 or something… if he doesn’t sign by then, I’m not thinking he pitches this year.

Hmmm, yes that word probably is rooted in racism.

Julio Urias still has a job

It’s interesting. Is it just because when it happened. Probably. I mean me too has been building steam for years, but I mean it’s at its highest point than ever. And just Mlb isn’t NBA or NFL apparently. But like I said, it’s only stage 1

Exactly. Keep it up and we’ll be really hesitant to add you to the whitelist.

Can someone open this thread? I need to quote all the people who clowned on me for saying Bauer would never throw an MLB pitch again.

 

 

He is done in MLB.

I mean you could be right, but why does playing in Japan for 1 year close the door on every playing in MLB again?

 

Interesting that a team in Japan doesn't care about the allegations (where he was never charged), but MLB does?

AOC went off on Japan for being behind the 8 ball with woke lol. But I would think one of the main concerns for mlb teams would be risk vs. reward. There were some questions about how TB would perform/hold up after 2 years. So there will be eyes on him for sure. And the fervor next year will die down a bit. So I don’t think it closes anything, but we’ll see

On the business side, the civil litigation will continue for a while, and no MLB wants ongoing negative publicity about one of its players. In Japan, the Bauer civil proceedings in the US would generate little media coverage.

Getting to the point where its difficult to see him coming back. If not now, why next season when he's 33 and hasn't thrown an MLB pitch in 3 years? I think he's been Puig'd.

Is the civil stuff still going? Hopefully she has a B lawyer. When the other side starts suing back, the chances of a settlement dwindle. And not getting anything back for the services starts to become a distinct possibility

Puig is a great comparison. Obviously good enough to play in MLB but never got the chance again because of off field stuff.

If Bauer has a great season there, I would bet everything that he will be back in the Majors next year. It's a simple risk vs reward issue right now.

 

Once teams see the reward then they will take the risk. The 1 year there will let people breathe and go cry about other people lol.

I don’t think anyone’s perception of the upside potential will shift much if he’s successful in Japan. Everyone knows he’s good.

There's no risk/reward issue here. IIRC, he can be had for league minimum, Dodgers are paying his salary.

 

The issue is a business one. What percentage of a fanbase would be put off by and boycott a team signing Bauer, only the beancounters know.

It's a really bad prescendent man. There are people who have been CONVICTED of more serious crimes that have been let back. Banning him for life would be ridiculous and something I hope doesn't happen.
