Chuckster70 20,419 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Arte Moreno, sign this guy at all costs. Not only is he dominate, but his swagger is exactly what this team needs. Angel Oracle and Billy_Ball 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blarg 29,072 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I'm going to make a not so bold prediction that Trevor Bauer is not signing with the Angels but from now until he does sign with another team there will be 3 dozen threads started about him.

rafibomb 2,450 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 There's no way he's sticking to his "one-year contracts" at a time after the season he just had DMVol and Angel Oracle 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Biergott 819 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I’ve always wanted Bauer on the Angels. They haven’t had fire since Weaver and Lackey. That and he’s a Bruin Lou and Pancake Bear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angel 145 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Reds would be fools not to resign him, they are technically contenders just as much as us. Even more so this year obviously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reveille1984 495 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 After his interview talking about a winning culture, the importance of analytics and wanting to compete for a World Series every year I doubt we're giving him much of a stiffy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Second Base 8,007 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 People thought he was crazy when he rifled the ball from the mound over the CF wall. Personally, I thought that was badass. Redondo, Hufflepuff, Sam Hyde and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bronson 969 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I would be shocked if he signed with us. But remember, when we think someone is gonna sign with us if never happens. I could see Arte pulling out the checkbook for him. But we’ll see. I think Stroman is a much more realistic option. Pancake Bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angelsjunky 9,641 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Guesses as to how high a one-year contract would go? I'm thinking $45 million, give or take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Angel 145 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I'd like to see Arte NOT sign anybody big this off-season. Everything positive we've seen has mostly come from within and I think it will continue with this elite coaching. We might turn out being kind of like the Rays and A's, where we magnify the talent we have and don't need to sign super stars every off-season. Sure, maybe one reliable arm, but splurging on an ace-like arm and with our luck it won't work out for the best. And a 25-30MM pitcher will set us back payroll wise quite a bit for the future. Arte needs to prove he's not just a man who parts with money but also a frugal investor in his ballclub's future. And right now we have team chemistry that shouldn't be messed with. We also have some talented arms in the wing ready to replace Teheran next season, one of them being Ohtani. Ace-Of-Diamonds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Angel 145 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 So if we sign Bauer, we'll have the most expensive everyday player and most expensive pitcher on the same team, we must be guaranteed a WS right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dochalo 24,195 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I was 90% sure we would sign Cole 1 am 90% sure we won't sign Bauer. So I guess we're getting Bauer. Ace-Of-Diamonds, Angel Oracle, Billy_Ball and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think better than Gerrit Cole would have been because of everything he brings to the team. We know he's not going to be a Yankee but I don't think he's going to be an Angel either. Padres, bet on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
