What chemistry does the clubhouse have right now?

Shame on all of you.  

We've discussed this. Bauer was the victim of a crime.  You want to shame crime victims now?

You make me sick.

If he’s in the majors he’s making $12-15 million this coming season. 

Lot less than that since he has been out a few years. He wants back in 5 mill

Hey, you're kind of in the entertainment industry, let's make up a false rumor about you and see if it destroys your career.

Would be funny if it did.

I don't have much of a career to destroy. And Bauer seems to be doing alright for himself.

Not to play both sides of the issue, but we also shouldn't pretend Bauer is a victim. Blessed by God with an elite ability to throw the ball, lived out his dream and became a millionaire in the process. 

He's no victim. 

But as I said, in a baseball sense he's guilty of nothing more than Gerrit Cole, yet one of protected by the establishment and the other isn't. Bauer admitted everyone was cheating, then said, "fine, I'll do it too just to prove a point." Then he's the best pitcher in baseball. 

Bauer is a loud mouth asshole. But he's absolutely right, and isn't guilty of anything illegal. Yet people are so enslaved to the narrative that he's evil that they'll say stupid shit like, "clubhouse chemistry." Chemistry means jack squat when you're losing 90 games a year. I'd rather they be at each other's throats and win 90. 

It's like the baseball version of Trump. He's so hated, yet when you peel away from the Trump Derangement Syndrome people have, you're forced to admit that everything was better with him that it was with Biden. Doesn't make him a hero, doesn't mean he's not an asshole. It just means he's better than the other guy, by a lot.

No, it’s because he’s an asshole and we’re trying to build a positive culture 

And yet his Japanese team wants him back. Because, y'know, Japan likes assholes and definitely doesn't care that he's a problem in the clubhouse.

No dude.  He is literally a victim of multiple crimes.

I turned this thread discussion into a POLL. 

Vote: Should the Angels sign Trevor Bauer? Yes or no

Go

[Angels 1961]

Only if Lorenzen signs with another team

[Jay]

I voted "yes" but only if Ohtani says it's ok.
