Holy Hell, Trevor Bauer!

[Chuckster70 20,907]

Arte Moreno, sign this guy at all costs. Not only is he dominate, but his swagger is exactly what this team needs.

"He then McGregor walked straight off the mound."

I like it.

Baseball should be fun.

100% @True Grich.

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.

I do remember seeing quite a few threads on Gerritt Cole last offseason, lol.

He’s gonna get so paid this off season

3 dozen seems low 

[rafibomb 2,699]

There's no way he's sticking to his "one-year contracts" at a time after the season he just had

[Biergott 821]

I’ve always wanted Bauer on the Angels.  They haven’t had fire since Weaver and Lackey.

That and he’s a Bruin

[Angel 145]

Reds would be fools not to resign him, they are technically contenders just as much as us.  Even more so this year obviously.

[Brandon 8,612]

Wasn't picked #3 by AZ, but they turned around and traded him to CLE?

Never understood that move.

[Reveille1984 495]

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.

Re-sign

 

good grief, people. 

[Second Base 8,388]

People thought he was crazy when he rifled the ball from the mound over the CF wall. Personally, I thought that was badass. 

[Bronson 1,072]

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.

[Angelsjunky 10,119]

Guesses as to how high a one-year contract would go? I'm thinking $45 million, give or take.

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.

[Angel 145]

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?

[ScottT 2,475]

Hes gonna get a lot. For more than one year.

He also has a 113 ERA+ in his career and will be 30 next year.

[Dochalo 25,077]

I was 90% sure we would sign Cole

1 am 90% sure we won't sign Bauer.  

So I guess we're getting Bauer.

He would be the perfect addition to the top of our rotation. 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.
