Trevor Bauer should have been dealt!!

September 1st:



I'm here and loving the Jekyll and Hyde approach to posting. And more curiously, what happened to your eyeballs and brain in the last 2 weeks? Should we be filing a police report on your behalf?

Should I be paying you rent for living in your head?

They are still far from making the postseason btw.

Its all in good fun man. Not personal. Based on the defensive reponse, I might suggest its you who owes me rent

Its just fun to look back on when you have so many hot takes that are drastically changed within a week or two.

A couple points about Bauer have been mentioned ....

1) he's a fierce competitor and wants to win
2) he only likes to sign one-year deals

JMO, but he walks at the end of the season. And to be honest I don't care. He's an ace, a helluva pitcher, but also a strange case to figure out. You move on. He's not the only fish in the sea.

How do you walk away from a good pitcher when they are already shakey at best in that area?

I'll stand on this and it's not hard to say, Bauer is not going to play for this club next season. You can put this as a sig if anyone wants to but he's gone. Big Market club with chance to win it all is going to get him. Reds are not going to be able to offer more than some other clubs who have a chance at world title. I'd LOVE to see him back but it's not going to happen. Padres, White Sox, maybe even Tampa Bay are possibilities..even the dreaded Cardinals? Cubs?

Bauer has said it multiple times but money is not the only thing that matters. If they make a move here and an improbable playoff run and he feels good that they have a chance to win next year as well I think there is a decent chance the Reds can get him back. He's a different guy.

So, you are suggesting that they only keep a #1 starter when they are secure in a playoff spot?

You don't trade Bauer in the middle of a playoff run. It's really that simple.

Trevor Bauer is the only one doing the dealing, and he's dealin' it.

Let this be a RZ PSA.

If you think the Reds should have traded Trevor Bauer at the TDL, you were/are wrong.

I was literally quoted by Bateman saying “the reds definitely made the right move keeping him.”

Yep.

Cue Social Distortion..

I mean SchroomyTunes, RedRead and any others...you need to realize all of Redszone is rooting for you to throw in the towel on this one. We are a forgiving bunch.

At the time you even had a bit of a case but things have changed. Stop doubling down! (Well that isn't towards Schroomy as he kicked off the thread but has since scampered off)

Just for the record, I admitted I was wrong on this particular subject and you quoted me from a post from an unrelated thread from 2 weeks ago to make me look dumb.

So, why should they admit they were wrong? So you can quote the post in which they were wrong and the one in which they admitted it and brow beat them?

Replying before you can amend.

That...wasn't me.

I can't believe you even went back and edited to pile on.
