Will the Indians trade Trevor Bauer?
Right now, I simply don’t care. He pitched for the Tribe tonight and was sensational at times, inconsistent at others. But either way, he’s here now and he helped the Indians win, 6-3, and help them chip away at the Twins’ AL Central lead.
Bauer didn’t quite live up to the “his last pitch is his best pitch” moniker, as he struggled against the last batter he faced and walked him, but his fastball peaked at 98.1 mph early in the game. He didn’t lean on it too hard, though, opting to mix up his pitch counts with 48 fastballs, 28 curves, 28 sliders, four changeups, and 12 cutters.
