OPINION: Are Trevor Bauer’s words becoming a ‘social’ distraction?

by Mike Holzheimer

CLEVELAND– Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is a very talented big league player. His attention to detail and his intense pregame and off-season workout regiment validates his commitment towards being one of the American League’s top hurlers.

Bauer can also be described as, well, unique. He truly isn’t afraid of speaking his mind to anyone at any time. His postgame interviews and tweets have gotten the attention of many media members and fans along with opposing players and managers.

In professional sports, it is often the case where an organization will “put up” with a certain player’s antics and attitudes if that player’s talent produces success coinciding with championships and consistent winning.
