Trevor Bauer: ESPN showing cell number led to thousands of texts, 'piping hot' phone

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Trevor Bauer tried to make the best of the situation when ESPN showed his phone number during a FaceTime interview that was part of Saturday's broadcast of a Korea Baseball Organization game.

But it took a toll on his phone.

"I think I have 12,000 unread messages right now in my text," Bauer said on CBS' "Tiki and Tierney" podcast Thursday.
