Hey MLB Network, Trevor Bauer isn’t actually ridding his body of CIA nanites using colloidal silver

Trevor Bauer has said a lot of outlandish things, baseball related and otherwise.

But no matter what you think of the guy, if you’re a major news outlet reporting on the status of an injured player, you might want to do some extra fact-checking when you decide to report on a tweet.

Would hate for you to get got by a claim as silly as a player “ridding his body of CIA nanites” using “colloidal soliver,” such as this fairly obvious joke by The Ringer’s Michael Baumann.

Trevor Bauer says that the doctors' timeline for his return is based on outdated mainstream medicine and he's begun a course of blood transfusions and colloidal silver to rid his body of CIA nanites.
