In the end, Trevor Bauer said goodbye to the Cleveland Indians with a temper tantrum and Yasiel Puig bid adieu to the Cincinnati Reds with a round of fisticuffs.
This is not a bad fan fiction but indeed a very real reality. Amid an otherwise quiet Trade Deadline Eve, Bauer and Puig suddenly found themselves at the center of the three-team deal between the Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
The trade was first reported by ESPN's Jeff Passan, who later expanded his reporting on the full package:
