The Official 2025 New York Yankees Thread

If Cole is scheduled to miss extended time, would you be open to signing Trevor Bauer? He obviously brings a ton of baggage with him, but he's commented that he'd play for the league minimum and was a front-line starter before his legal troubles. I don't think it will happen because they wouldn't want to deal with any of the fallout, but it's an interesting proposition.

Hey Adrien & billythekid- - Trevor Bauer had all charges dropped and was found NOT guilty of any of the charges, but it seems once you're accused of a crime you're pronounced guilty!
He's getting a bad rap!
I would sign him in a NY minute!
The problem as I stated above is Hal crying poverty!
He doesn't want to spend more money!
Get a 3rd baseman, and 2 starting pitchers (Bauer & Alcantara) and cut out the BS!

This is the problem Hal cares more about bad PR than winning a World Series. Not only was Trevor Bauer not guilty of any charges he was a victim in this case.

You could easily just sign Bauer to a minor league deal and have him work his way up. We know the injury excuses for this team are gonna be there, this is convenient for Hal.

Cole to have TJ surgery.

I don't disagree with you about the bad rap. It bothers me that he's had his career derailed by what appears to be a false accusation. That said, it's not been just the Yankees that have passed on this guy. Innocent or not, signing him brings a lot of heat and I'm not talking about the mph on his fastball.

What made the Yankees the Yankees is they would be willing to take risks that no one else would take, one of those risks was Darryl Strawberry in 95 and won 3 World Series with him.

How about Doc Gooden who snorted enough coke to kill a small horse?

From a public relations perspective, there is a Grand Canyon-sized gulf between a drug user and someone accused of sexual assault. One can be viewed as a reclamation project. The other not as much. Again, I'd be OK with the signing as Bauer has been found not guilty, but the level of heat it would bring would be immense.
