It’s time we consider signing Trevor Bauer

[Blarg]

Dammit, that is such a deal that the Angels really should get in on it.

Imagine having a vendetta against a movement that outed some of the worst predators in the country, as well as gave women AND men a voice to speak up about being abused.

Yes, it also resulted in *some* non-victims taking advantage of it and manipulating and deceiving people. But every societal shift, including the most positive, has its share of folks who see an opportunity to take advantage for attention, revenge, or self gain. 

Hopefully all of us with children are teaching them that their bodies belong to themselves, and that if anyone ever victimizes them, they have the ability to speak up and not be judged or questioned about it.

Agree, but because he was found innocent and the accuser was found to be a gold digger from the start, he deserves to return to MLB.

Bad behavior on both ends is unacceptable.   In this case, that’s on her.

Step up Perry/Arte!

Then Silseth can spend 2024 refining his four seamer’s movement in the minors.

Bauer, Detmers, Canning, Sandoval, Anderson  with Silseth and others like Daniel and Rosenberg for depth

Look, best case scenario he shows up in an Angels uni and there is a media circus for Spring Training his first couple starts. Then he is old news unless something comes up. By the trade deadline if he is pitching well but the Angels are out of it they get a prospect haul in trade. If he is throwing well and the Angels are in the playoffs his bonus money is paid for. If he sucks then they dump him like any other MLB minimum player, no extra costs.

So nobody has signed him yet?

[arch stanton]

Why not take advantage of those deep Dodger pockets and sign him to play for us while they pay him?

His Dodgers deal only ran through last season.

Ah. Nevermind

we live in a time of obsessive amounts of self-promotion (i.e. "I'm an influencer" types litter the landscape). I don't mind a quality pitcher doing the same to try and land a job. I don't think this is a bad idea.

Sentiment was on point.  So, still counts.

I’m thinking the Rangers or Houston. Last year I predicted Mets or Rangers. I think it’ll be a team that’s done enough for its fanbase lately that it can take the short term PR hit.

Houston has experience managing the PR hits.

[Angels 1961]

If Arte is selling Angels will not sign him for PR reasons. I have no idea how much money he would want but a 1-year deal could help rotation.

Great pull. But the Bananas are too wholesome for Trevor Bauer.

He hasn't signed with anyone yet--or, if he has, it hasn't been announced.

You got to be kidding me both Buster Onley and Jeff Passans  tweeted it this AM and of course the tweets were taken down

[CaliAngel]

It's insane to me if nobody signs him, and if somebody else gets him that's just stupid, because the Angels absolutely should have been the first ones in the ring. 

Which means of course, they'll blow a perfectly good/cheap opportunity to get our starting rotation in a semi-respectable form.

Kicking a guy while he's down when he never should have been there in the first place. Super classy.
