I understand that some here are taking this opportunity to stand up for a man they believe has been wronged by "the mob," I would remind you that he doesnt deny he beat her, just that he didnt break her skull. 

Did you watch the video? It shows:

1. She conspired with friends to get his money.
2. She planned to use sex to get it.
3. She videoed herself looking absolutely fine (physically and emotionally) the next morning.
4. The judge concluded that "no physical assault or non-consensual sexual activity took place", and 
5. He says that he never sexually assaulted this woman or any other woman for that matter.

Now I've said in this thread that I don't like Bauer, don't trust that he hasn't had other legit issues with women and don't want him on this team, but the man was framed here. Please stop saying that he doesn't deny it. He explicitly does. Just watch the video for yourself.

I'm very unsure that his stuff would translate at age 32 back to MLB. His numbers this year in Japan:

Let's be real.... there's very little chance that any MLB team is going to want to endure the waterfall of **** that would rain down upon them after offering Bauer a job. 

He was 12th in the 6-team Central League in ERA (min 100 innings). His 2.79 looks superficially good, but the league ERA was 3.19. So even before you start talking talent differences, if you want to translate his numbers of the Majors you have to multiply ERA by about 1.44. So his '23 performance was something like a 4.04 ERA in a AAAA league.

What would be a fair price for a 32-year-old with a, say, 3.75 ERA in AAA? Even if he's a good clubhouse guy.

I’ve watched a lot of his content on the “momentum” channel on YouTube and IG. It’s entertaining. The stuff with Eric Sim is hilarious. However… there’s just something a little off with Bauer. 

Bauer had that beef with Gerrit Cole at UCLA. Bauer is into women. No doubt. I mean look at his agent. Google Rachel Luba. You’re welcome. There’s a lot of professional athletes out there sleeping with women. Not everyone of them gets accused of the violent stuff that Bauer does. Multiple women. Just like Wander Franco likes em young. Bauer likes them beat up. 

Elephant in the room… just because someone asks you to do something to them, doesn’t mean you have to do it. That wasn’t his first rodeo. You just don’t go from zero to punching a woman and choking her out. Cmon.

There was a guy on his team, Katsuki Azuma, who put up a 2.03 ERA in more innings. We should go after him in a couple years.

    • I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.  
    • And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.
    • I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.  
    • Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.
    • For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?
    • I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall? 
    • 192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
