I wonder if we would’ve considered Bauer for this years rotation if we weren’t coming up on the big stadium vote? This is the exact kind of market that should give him a shot. Worst case scenario the team isn’t doing well and you flip him at the deadline after it’s no longer “news” that he’s back in the league. Best case he pitches like a #2 and gives you good innings for dirt cheap on a team in the hunt in a weak division.
All that being said, I’d guess there’s zero chance ownership would risk the negative headlines that would undoubtedly come right before the teams location future is decided. Shame.
