To be fair, isn't that essentially what happened to Bauer? Not to say that Bauer is beloved by all now but I'd say he was seen as a lost cause by the Diamondbacks, probably the Indians as well to a certain extent until he just got good enough to ignore whoever he was making mad on the coaching staff, FO or whatever. From his videos it seems like he didn't have a very good relationship with Francona, but from his short stint with the Reds he seems to be more accepted. Puig, for the record, was an absolute fan favourite both on the Dodgers and the Reds.
