]I have had a theory that Trevor Bauer was on his way out of town since I saw a battalion of scouts watching one of his starts in spring training. This suspicion grew stronger when Bauer was placed in the bullpen for the start of the season. This was one of those decisions that simply doesn’t seem meant to last. Granted, the fifth starter won’t be needed much in April, so we may not know what the rotation will really look like for a few weeks. But Bauer certainly didn’t do anything this spring to justify a demotion, which reinforced the idea that he might be dealt.
