When Trevor Bauer signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers it immediately raised questions over clubhouse chemistry and his fit on the team due to an outspoken, if not provocative and aggressive, personality.
Bauer said during an introductory press conference that he was working on better understanding the opinions of others and remained focused on being a good teammate and positive member of the local community.
That appears to have made little difference as Bauer’s brutal honesty rankled Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais. During a response to discuss his team’s recent improvement at the plate, Servais mocked Bauer’s explanation for allowing three home runs in the fifth inning, via Daniel Kramer of MLB.
