January 9, 20233 yr Idk you’d still think a pitching needing team like Baltimore would take a chance on him.

Bonds played until he was 42 and Puig wasn’t very good at baseball. I am quite certain that Trevor Bauer will play in the big leagues again. Not saying he deserves the chance to be able to, but I’m pretty sure he will.

January 9, 20233 yr Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I do think Bauer is toxic in enough ways where he might not actually pitch in MLB again.
January 9, 20233 yr The other thing with Bauer is that if you sign him, you almost certainly know you will have to deal with him trending for something he does in the future. This isn't just these 2 women who made complaints against him, it's also his online persona, where he's bullied women by "quote-tweeting" things they dared to tweet about him so that his followers go after them, he's fiddled around with the antisemitic "George Soros is evil" stuff which won't go over well with any owners who happen to be Jewish, he's made "jokes" about trans people. You don't just have the risk of him abusing some woman again while you've signed him, you also have the darn near certainty that your team is going to have to deal with something else he says online.
January 9, 20233 yr A team that has built up credibility with their fan base could pull it off like the Padres or the Mets. You also have teams that have no media coverage like Tampa, Oakland and to a degree Cleveland.

The Mets dump too if they dump some of Carrasco's contract and open up a spot in the rotation.

The problem for the Mets is that there are strong suggestions that one of Cohen's motivations behind the spending is that he's after one of a select group of NY State Casino Licenses that are about to be given out by the state legislature. To do so literally will require the permission of the state legislature, so he is actively employing NY State lobbyists on the subject and this may very well be why he's willing to put so much money into the Mets. https://fortune.com/2023/01/08/casino-new-york-city-mets-owner-steve-cohen-gets-community-input-gambling/ How would New York State Politicians react to him employing Trevor Bauer? Is Bauer worth derailing a billion dollar casino project? Naw.

He might be one of the few players where the talent doesn't outweigh the PR nightmare and day-to-day headache.

Something else from his past will almost certainly emerge if he stays in the spotlight making hundreds of millions. There are so many reasons why MLB should stay the hell away. I am hopeful they will.
January 10, 20233 yr It’s so frustrating to see teams spend money to put finishing touches on their team, like Jays with Belt, while the Sox are too broke to fill giant holes.

January 10, 20233 yr Twins now talking to Correa: So that means...Baltimore...can get a shot next week.
January 10, 20233 yr There's lots of smoke from supposed Twins insiders on twitter they might be close to landing Correa, fwiw
