Trevor Bauer plans on signing one-year contracts every offseason of his career.
He has two more years of arbitration before he's a free agent, but he plans on taking things one year at a time until he calls it quits. For a player as good and as young as Bauer—a 27-year-old coming off a 17-win season—who also happens to be playing for a contending team, this seems like a bizarre move. There's a level of security that comes with multi-year contracts that Bauer has decided to forgo throughout his career for no good reason.
Well, some might consider his reason for only taking one-year deals a good one.
