I won't....I'd love to have him but I think signing him gives Minasian no chance to fill other needs, except by dumpster diving---another SP, bullpen, catcher....

So you would rather fill other needs and then dumpster dive for starters?

I highly doubt he signs with the Mariners. But I did not know he lives up here. 

He spends a lot of time at Driveline, but I've never before heard him described as "living" in Seattle/Kent.

"Bauer lives near Houston but makes much of his offseason base in Seattle, so he can workout at Driveline Baseball, a data-driven performance training facility."

Why would someone willingly live in Houston?

Arte needs to open up a Driveline at the Big A.

I predict he's going to be a guest at your next River Raft Fest.

Arte is so family-oriented that he signed a drug addict.

And there was no lesson learned from that?

Yes, he hasn't signed a drug addict to a six-figure deal since.

If this is any other star pitcher I would be shitting my pants with excitement. 
 

But it’s Trevor Bauer. I would not look into this tweet in the slightest. Just him trying to stir the pot and make fans bicker with each other on Twitter. He probably gets off to it honestly.

I’d imagine if he comes to one of the SoCal teams he’s gonna go back an workout in the offseason at the place in Valencia he used to train.

It’s literally around the corner from my office.

The lack of success is not Dipoto's fault.  It's not Eppler's fault. It's those vegan lunches you take people to.

Reading comprehension....I listed SP as one of our needs, along with C and RP....I'd rather have 30 million to spend on multiple players (with starters being at the top of the list) than spending all 30 million on Bauer. Absent a trade to move a salary, Bauer would take up most of the budget, if not all of it (depending on how you read Arte's "we're not decreasing the budget" quote).

That's because you have the Rona, and that bland no taste is actually the virus giving you no taste.

Another factor is timing.  If Bauer is going to wait to make a decision until February... best to move along now.
