Trevor Bauer sets up giveaway after his phone number shown during ESPN interview

Call it an unexpected curveball, but Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer tried to make the most of the situation.

Bauer joined ESPN's broadcast of the Korea Baseball Organization's LG Twins vs. NC Dinos through FaceTime on Saturday night. The only problem? His phone number appeared at the top of the screen before the network cut to a commercial break.

"So @espn has just leaked my number to truly the entire world," Bauer wrote on Twitter. "In honor of this... shall we call it... massive screw up... I'm doing a giveaway! I'll be giving away a pair of signed cleats and an autographed baseball over the next 48 hours.
