Trevor Bauer Aims Of Return By Signing With Yankees: Would Love To Play Alongside Gerrit Cole

Bauer played in Japan’s premier baseball league with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars the previous season. In his brief time in the NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball), Bauer had an outstanding 10-4 record with 130 strikeouts in 130.2 innings pitched and a 2.76 ERA. These numbers indicate that he is still, at the very least, a pitcher similar to the one he was before the Los Angeles Dodgers suspended him.

Following his clearance to rejoin the Major League Baseball, Bauer has been associated with many teams aiming to enhance their starting rotation. A player with a close relationship to Trevor Bauer plays for the New York Yankees, one of the teams that is the subject of rumours.

Bauer, who was the 2020 NL Cy Young winner, congratulated Cole, his old UCLA teammate, on receiving the esteemed accolade on Thursday on X, the site that was once known as Twitter.

“Welcome to the club [Gerrit Cole]! Finally recognized for something you’ve deserved for a long time,” Bauer tweeted. “Pretty damn cool for a pair of college teammates to both win Cy Young’s. For all you baseball historians out there, has that ever happened before or is this a first?”

Cole led the American League in ERA (2.63), innings thrown (209), quality starts (24), WHIP (0.98), opponents’ batting average (.206), and opponents’ on-base percentage (.581) this season. He went 15-4 over 33 starts. Cole became the only Yankee in history to record 200 or more strikeouts in three separate seasons with 222 strikeouts, which ranks seventh in all of baseball.

After serving a two-year ban for breaking the league’s domestic violence policy, Bauer hopes to return to Major League Baseball. He took advantage of the opportunity to make his Bronx pitch.

“Would love to. We did go to the World Series last time we were teammates, after all,” Bauer said about their College World Series appearance with UCLA in 2010.

And Bauer was questioned, “Are y’all cool now?” by a user.

“Have been for years,” Bauer shot back.

The contentious pitcher, who last played in the big leagues in 2021 owing to many accusations of sexual assault, has declared his intention to resume his career in that league.

But now that the sexual assault accusations against Trevor Bauer have resulted in his dismissal from all criminal charges, the former National League Cy Young Award winner is trying to make his way back into the league.
