Trevor Bauer is an excellent pitcher. I’m not here to even remotely deny that, as this fact is obvious to anyone who’s casually followed him throughout his career.
Another fact obvious to those who only know a little bit about Bauer is that his personality is, to be polite, abrasive.
For most of his time with the Cleveland Indians, Bauer’s potential has outweighed any headaches he may bring into the clubhouse. Lately, however, he’s starting to toe the line. As Bauer continues becoming more outspoken, you have to wonder how much longer Cleveland will accept this routine solely because of the talent which comes along with it.
