Just answer these questions.

What’s the worst thing that happens if signing Bauer?

What’s the best thing that happens if signing Bauer?

1. Flush money down the terlit (that wouldn't happen, plus we already do that anyway)

2. He lights a fire under the team's ass and helps us make the playoffs. It'd be nice to add some snotty 'tude to this team.

I say yes, sure, why not - if for $15M or less.

I can pretty much guarantee you that even if he is signed, no team is going to give him $15M+, especially since he has openly declared he'd play for the minimum.

He's going up against @Angels 1961.

Yet, the Halos have met with Domingo German a few times.... An Alcoholic & Proven Domestic Abuser with an 81 game Suspension due to it... vs .... An Asshole with a 1 season suspension without cause and a not guilty DV case?

Take the asshole! We've had assholes before most of them worked out at various times here.

Worst case, you cut him.

With the news today that the budget will be lowered, this move makes by far the most sense for SP depth coming into the season, of which the Angels have very few options when one or more guys go down.

Or they didn’t and it’s a story leaked by the agent as usual.

Yep.  I have no idea what to use the new "thread fly" reaction on, but I think it probably has something to do with Bauer.

[Taylor]

Any day now

Dbacks again?

I thought he said he was willing to take league minimum?

That offer was only on the table for 48 hours, and the league called his bluff.

If the league called his bluff, a team would have accepted his offer. That's how calling a bluff works.

No, he acted like the offer was only available for 48 hours, but the league knew he's 10,000 times more desperate than they are.

How big of a game would Trevor Bauer vs the Dodgers be?

How great of an Angel win that COULD be

[tdawg87]

This org has absolutely nothing to lose here. We already have no credibility.

so the owners are holding out for less than the MLB minimum to sign him?
