Let's have a non-political, non judgemental discussion.
Do you think the Pirates could benefit from signing Trevor Bauer?
Discuss without bringing up anything besides playing baseball.
I think it could be a won for both him and the Pirates.
They could get a decent pitcher, to help them get some wins, and to help the younger guys develop.
He gets to prove if he can still play baseball and depending on how he performs; it could garner him a bigger contract/payday next season.
Win/win.

Good luck with this. I tried it and my thread got shut down.
-
If a convicted rapist, and insurrectionist can possibly become president of the United State why not Bauer back in the MLB?
-
@joshjays44 You don’t seem to know what the word convicted means.
-
Every team should be considering this. He was never even arrested. Innocent until proven guilty.
-
I think any team could benefit if possible social backlash wasn't a possibility. Excellent pitcher with a high floor and ceiling. High floor because you could get him for league minimum right now. Probably only a one year deal, but any team could sign him and, at the worst, potentially trade him at the deadline if he performs well. If he doesn't perform, DFA him with no consequence. If he helps enough, he is a Cy Young caliber arm that could excel in the playoffs.
I've thought of it like this. I went to grad school at UF when Tebow was there. Heck of a college QB and, from what I heard, was a very nice man. After he was drafted, his NFL career was more of a distraction than a lot of teams wanted to put up with. The question was: Is his skill worth the off the field show? Until the Broncos were able to sign Manning, the answer was yes. He was a known leader able to lead his team effectively without the raw skill Peyton Manning had. After Manning, the distraction was no longer worth his ability to other teams. Unfortunate for Tebow because he could have been a reliable backup for a decade or more.
Bauer was a show before his problems. The teams will weigh those questions. Look at my Angels. They need a front end arm. Right now it's one or two middle and two back end arms with a bunch of question marks. With my team in that much disarray, I'm still not sure he's worth it.

Alright then "Liable", happy now? Don't tell me you're defending this? At least you didn't mention anything about the insurrection. As for any "Conviction", wait a few months
. -
@joshjays44 The burden of proof is low for civil matters. He was never charged criminally for rape. He hasn’t even been charged with insurrection either. Facts matter. TDS

Wow. That lasted long. Third post and we're already off topic. Guess before this gets shutdown; I can at least thank @broken_toy1_PSN for having a discussion.
Guess certain people want to watch the world burn.

I guess you didn't watch the deposition tape eh bud? Lol, and the orange orangutan didn't cause Jan 6th? I guess the almost 500 million dollar fraud case in New York is fake news too? You're far down the maga cult hole eh? No matter what you're gonna defend this till the cow comes home eh? It's like when a flat earther or sovereign citizen deeply believes they are right when they've watched enough youtube video on it.
Opps this was meant for the MAGA person bud, not you.
-
@joshjays44 None of those things are a conviction or even a charge of rape or insurrection like you said. You can move the goal posts all you want, but neither of your claims are true. They don’t have anything to do with this topic either.

Lol I know there little buddy, there there, have some more Maga kool-aid, it'll be all over soon, go ahead and keep cherry picking the things you want to believe in, oh almost like a flat earther or sovereign citizen. See how you mentioned nothing about the 500 million dollar fraud case? Whoosh, like it never happened, there there. For something that's off topic you seem to chime in a lot on it eh?
-
Just correcting the facts. The fraud case is also civil, not criminal genius. It’s hilariously ironic that you keep referring to me as a flat earther when you can’t seem to get any of the facts straight.
-
@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN They could’ve claimed him off waivers for less money last season when he was a year younger and didn’t so why would they bother now?

Haha wow, for someone that doesn't want to talk about an off topic you really like talking about it. Here are the facts bud, not your alternative facts that you MAGA cult people try to bring up. Your orange cult leader has lost 3 civil trials so far. 1. The liable rape trial, that was about 8 million bucks. 2. Basically an extention of the rape trial where the orangutan couldn't keep his mouth shut so about 85 million bucks for defamation. 3. The the New York fraud trial, jury found your fake spray tan leader guilty for about 455 million. So far he's batting 0-3 lol, oh for voting fraud about 60 judges said nope lol, even judges he elected
So that's like 0-63. That's like the batting average of a DD player trying to play Franchise on Legend lol. It doesn't matter dude, if Trump is found criminally guilty in Georgia you're gonna say that's its fake news or something else to justify your maga cult feelings that he's innocent. And I'm not calling you a flat earther or sovereign citizen, I'm saying you have their mentality. You live in an alternate reality with alternate "facts" that you tell yourself to justify your cultist nature. So make sure you maga people buy Trump's ugly golden shoes because he's BROKE, he needs money to pay for his legal battles or else he'll have to file for bankruptcy again. Alright guys, it's a new season, I'll be here all year, please tip your waiter and try the veal or for DD players try the hot pokets

Josh appears to be more interested in stirring the pot than discussing baseball. Josh needs to go to Huffington Post, or some other political site.

0-63 is pretty shitty batting average and most DD players couldn’t play franchise with a real simulation set of sliders to save their lives.
