Career 3.87 FIP. An SP3 with two good seasons and a 2020 Cy*. Plus, a selfish teammate. Remember when he sliced his hand open playing with a drone? His main talent is attention-seeking, so this publicity stunt totally tracks.
Great read, Smayan! To me, this move was about content on both sides. Bauer, at this point, has moved fully to being a content creator with Momentum. Baseball is just the content he creates.
Minor League and Independent League teams thrive on content. You see it with their marketing styles, where they try to drum up crazy logos, names and uniforms, going all in on things that would break through the noise of their area and bring people in. Signing someone like Trevor Bauer is undoubtedly going to increase ticket sales and eyeballs on the Ducks. It helps that he'll likely be one of the league's better players.

Well said that this has nothing to do with him returning to the MLB. However, I’d love to never hear about this guy again.
Haha. Understood!

Absolutely Griffin. A very good play, and a very smart move by the Ducks.
Do you still think he might have a chance at the MLB?
