Would you as a fan be open to it? I saw him in Los Angeles and he pitched well but was something of a clubhouse loner and of course, he has had baggage that came with him from Cincinnati. He's been pitching in Mexico and before that, Japan, and he pitched well and had no incidents.Bauer was never arrested or charged in an alleged sexual assault suspicion.. He countersued, saying he had one consensual sexual encounter with the woman in 2020 and then accused her of faking the pregnancy to extort money from him. 

The Orioles havent exactly rejected  accused alleged domestic violence suspects. Remember we picked up Francisco Rodriguez?

The question is, would the Orioles take a chance with a guy who only said he would want to pitch for the Orioles.

Thoughts?

Why did we need yet another thread on this guy?  What hasn't been said in the other ones?

We need pitching!  It was alleged domestic abuse, he said, she said, there is no proof!  I heard that he's a jerk though.

It is more than one incident of “alleged” domestic abuse.  He was suspended for 2 years by major league baseball.  The Union pretty much didn’t fight for him.  He has many documented incidents of being abusive to people on social media.  He is a POS.  His major league career is over.  I don’t care what his won-loss record is.  Besides all that this group of Orioles is a tight knit group of decent people.  There is no way they would want this guy in their clubhouse.  All he would be is a major distraction.

If our people assessed the situation as a whole and decided it was best for the team, than yea I’m for it. If they don’t think it’s worth the backlash/media circus or they think it would be a hit to clubhouse morale, then I agree with that decision. 
 

That being said, the guy is an absolute weirdo with poor character just based off the facts of the case even if he didn’t commit any crimes. But we put up with character flaws with players that help our favorite team win games.

Right this was in response to A tweet from Bill James saying MLB is likely facing a billion dollar lawsuit from him

I bet Bryson DeChembeau at plus 2000 last week for the US Open and cleared $4000 in profit.

 

Why?  Because I watch his youtube vids and he was PRIMED to win.  You could see it in his videos.

I watch TB as well on you tube.  And this guy is HUNGRY.   He is primed.  I think he got a raw deal on his domestic violence case.  As someone who had the same accused against me when  I was totally innocent 15 years ago?  I know how women can be.  It was a total lie.  And he was 100% vindicated.

I would sign him in a heartbeat.

Watch his you tube videos.  He does not seem the least bit strange to me.  Just seems like a normal guy.

I'm generally leery of people with DV allegations.  The fact that there were 4 separate women that came forward certainly heightens the level of concern.  In Bauer's case he's never been charged with a crime, one of his accusers has been charged with fraud, and another accuser settled civil claims out of court with Bauer not paying her a dime.

 

It sounds like he has some weird kinks and maybe picks bad women to live out his sexual fantasies with, but those aren't crimes.

 

I'd be a little more concerned with the fact that it doesn't really seem like Bauer's teammates ever liked him very much.  It seems like his blacklisting has just as much to do with that.  I'd be loathe to disrupt team chemistry.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
