Before the Cincinnati Reds acquired right-handed starting pitcher Trevor Bauer from Cleveland at the trade deadline in 2019, it was already known that he was planning to sign 1-year contracts every season moving forward. He was on the record with that fact. Things haven’t changed since his arrival in a new organization. Bauer explained his reasoning behind the idea on his youtube channel late on Monday night. For the Reds, this is kind of a big deal.
Update: the video has been made “private” and is no longer available. But since I began writing this on Monday night, I had already transcribed a few quotes from the video.
