Troubled Trevor Bauer released by Scrappers, BVL return unlikely
MYRTLE BEACH (SC) -- In need of pitching help two seasons ago, Brick Church traded prospects Nate Pearson, Adley Rutschmsn and their 1949 #1 to Homestead for starter Trevor Bauer, who helped the Foys make the playoffs despite winning one game.
The following year, though, everything fell apart for the Foys and for Bauer, who was suspended for violating the BVL’s domestic violence and animal cruelty policy, letsplayMeToo. Called a “cancer” by teammates, the Foys traded Bauer to NYC for a 4th-round pick. Bauer pitched well, winning Game 5 for the Scrappers during the Yogi Series against the New York Knights.
Under suspension through late 1952, the Scrappers had no use saving a roster spot. They let Bauer go, one of the 135 players released by the clubs. “I was framed by one woman,” said Bauer, currently pitching in Japan. “It’s true what they say about girls: they talk and stand sooner on their feet than boys, because weeds always grow more quickly than good crops.”
WAR declared!
Myles Straw, (HOM) and Gavin Lux (BCF) had the highest WAR rating among the cuts, 2.7 and 2.5, respectively. Neither player was drafted, for only three among the cuts were: Jarred Kelenic, Christian Pache and Tyler Glasnow.
Fifty-four of the 135 players released, trimming payroll by 925 shekels, were eligible and WAR rated. A year ago, 46 of the 137 cuts were eligible and WAR rated as owners saved 788s.
So long, Buster
Dreams of winning a championship at Homestead in Buster Posey’s final season went up in smoke. The long-time Grey had called it quits before the season’s start and he gave it his all, playing every game, batting .291 with 9 homers. “I have no complaints,” said Posey. “I played for a great organization.”
Other players we might be saying so long to: Joey Votto, Adolis Chapman and Nelson Cruz.
