    Where is Trevor Bauer going to end up?

    I know the market is slow, but it's odd that we aren't even seeing any rumors about the NL Cy Young winner. Part of that is the market, and part of that is Bauer's personality. (Love him or hate him or both, he's not a wallflower...)

    The Mets got Carrasco and the Jays just spent their money on Springer ... though maybe they would still be in on Bauer after missing out on Brantley. The Yankees are trying to stay under the luxury tax and Bauer probably isn't interested in a really long contract that stretches out the yearly cap number. Now I'm seeing rumors that the Dodgers may get in on Bauer if his price drops. He may end up getting his 1-year deal because he HAS to, not because he WANTS to.

    San Diego because they need more pitching.

    NottheCubs because...well you know.

      If I'm Jerry Reinsdorf, and I want to win a title before I die, I go get Trevor Bauer. And Nelson Cruz for two years.

        My guess is the Angels or Dodgers.

          Yeah, I see that the Dodgers are sniffing around Bauer now that his market seems to have cooled...I still say the Angels would be great fit, if they could figure out how to stat Bauer every 4th day (which he prefers) and Ohtani every 6th day. That could be a fun ballclub if Albert fades into the background.

            Yeah, what ARE the Angels doing? They signed Jose Quintana. That just adds to the overall 'meh' of their rotation (Bundy, Heaney, Canning, Quintana... Ohtani? Barria? Sandoval?) that could really use an another top-end arm. Will Arte spend the money?

              He's already on the hook for 172 million this year, so a closer look says that he won't spend the money this season. However, the dead money of Albert Pujols comes off the books after this year, 30 million for grounding out a million times and hitting 20 homers. God, that was a bad contract...

                I agree they need another top-end arm, but I can understand the Q signing. Only one year, and if he doesn't do dishes anymore, likely very reliable for a #4 SP. Given the health concerns historically with Heaney and Ohtani, having a meh, but reliable, arm makes decent sense to me.

                  Yeah, and Bauer might not be the kind of guy to accept a 3 year, backloaded deal to help him out.

                    Joel Sherman suggested it might be the Twins (although certainly the Angels would fit as well) IF they proposed 4/100 but with opt outs after every year so that if Bauer had another great year this year or next then he could re-enter the market when the finances were better.

                      fwiw, the Jays are still $80M below the luxury tax threshold
                      It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                        Damn Padres hogging all the good pitchers lol. I think the Padres have to win a World Series before they officially qualify as an evil empire.

                            It has to be the Angels. The new GM has said they "are close to winning". Well, if they don't get an ace and another quality arm then he's either not too smart or lying. Madden is the kind of quirky manager that will welcome and work well with him. Just put a "no drone" clause in, please.

                              Well, I guess it is not gonna be the Angels. I didn't realize the issues with Mickey Callaway went that deep.
