Trevor Bauer: An American Hero

[kaldaniels]

Any words from last off-seasons we-should-trade-Bauer crowd?

Not just trade.

Non-tender.

I was one of those. No one is untouchable. With his poor 2019 and his hefty cost, it was a reasonable avenue to explore. Nobody said give him away.

So we were saying trade his high cost and poor performance for a huge return? Hmm.

I was saying to try tp recoup the minor league talent similar to what they gave up for him and use the money to sign somebody else.

I understand the argument mth is making for trading Bauer. Get a couple good minor leaguers and sign someone with the money you save. I'm glad the Reds did not go down that route, though. I love Bauer's outspoken attitude, his outrageous antics. He is a display of emotion in an usually "professional" acting sport. Too often, being professional in baseball means displaying no emotion, showing no joy, or anger, and not doing anything silly or expressive. That he couples it with being a pretty darn good pitcher? That elevates him to favorite status for me...

I actually believe the Reds have more than a snowball's chance of signing Bauer next year. The pitching culture seems to his liking. Also, i have a faint recollection of his saying that he would only sign one year contracts in the future.

One that thankfully the Reds chose not to explore.

He’s the perfect pitcher for the Reds. He’ll never ruin them with a long term deal and he doesn’t have a big city personality (looking at you Matt Harvey). I believe he likes pitching in Cincinnati. Another thing I like about him is he invests himself into working with and helping other pitchers on the staff.

Until it actually happens I will never believe an elite pitcher will sign with the Reds and commit to playing half his starts in GABP. Especially if he really goes with the 1yr deals. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Trevor Bauer through his first 3 starts:
19 1/3 IP,
7 H,
2 ER,
4 BB,
32 K.
That’s a 0.93 ERA.

Without looks at anyone else's stats early Cy Young favorite with Sonny IMO.

I agree with this. I think the feeling is mutual between Bauer and the Reds coaching staff/team. I have a feeling that if the Reds offer a deal either close or the same as anyone else offers (if the one year deal thing is real) he is a Red next year.

With looking at everyone else's stats, early Cy Young favorite with Sonny not far behind, IMO.

Bauer's pitching like a maniac. This is the guy they traded Trammell for. Hopefully they can find a way to keep him and Castellanos in town for 2021 at least.

This year vs last year Bauer are in different stratospheres. Makes me kinda wonder whether he was just mentally checked out after the trade last year.
