The Cleveland Guardians could certainly use another reliable arm for their rotation.
Trevor Bauer just happens to be looking for a way back to Major League Baseball.
Nevertheless, it seems like there are no takers.
Since being placed on administrative leave by the league and released by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the former NL Cy Young winner has been seeking another opportunity, but to no avail.
That’s why, after going unsigned again, the hurler took to X to claim that he was the second-most popular baseball player on Earth.
I’m the second most popular player and the most knowledgeable pitcher on the planet. I’m also a top 10 pitcher on the planet and willing to play for $0. That’s minimum $50M value per year that you’d get for $0. But, someone very obviously lied about me one time so, I can’t go…

More than that, he also reported that he would be willing to play for free, which would equal a $50 million value contract for any organization.
Bauer stated that the lies about him led to this backlash.
Bauer’s legal situation was settled.
Both parties reached a settlement in his case.
Since being out of the league, he’s dominated in Japan and Mexico and become one of the most popular baseball players on social media.
Perhaps that’s why he claims to be the second-most popular baseball player behind only Shohei Ohtani.
Whether or not that is the case is not something we should decide.
