Bauer OUTage: The Indians Had to Move Trevor Bauer, But Should Be Hailed for Winning the Trade

By Natalie Turk

The debate on whether Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer would be traded ended late Tuesday in a blockbuster deal. Tribe fans everywhere this morning are torn, many love the deal while others wanted to keep Bauer.

However, the organization’s front office took advantage of getting a large haul in return for Bauer just at the right time.

Bauer would be involved in arbitration next year and the Tribe almost certainly would lose him after the 2020 season. They struck while the iron was hot adding some much-needed offense to the lackluster lineup.
