Terry Francona already swinging deals that look masterful...Can he turn the Indians into to what the Sox were?

Who needs a chemistry killer like that ****** ticket Bauer? I agree with the poster that stated Towers is a way better GM than Byrnes.

This made me bust out laughing! Epic!
On a side note. I think the Dbacks know more than we do, and in that lies your answer.

Such a small haul back for bauer, other GM's must not like him that much either.

I'm not too surprised the D-Backs traded Bauer, but I do think he could have netted them a much better haul based on his potential. Cleveland does very well with this trade.
For your sake, Arizona...I hope Lars Anderson finally lives up to his former potential. (Doubtful, but he has had success in the minors and is still young)

Well, according to Arizona GM Kevin Towers, Gregorius reminds him "of a young Derek Jeter."

Where's Anderson going to fit in?
1B - Goldschmidt
3B- Chris Johnson, Matt Davidson
OF is jammed already, so dont expect him there.

Probably will win an MVP in AAA, lol.
Last time I checked Lincecum doesn't throw foul pole to foul pole pregame.

It seems like there has been a shift in most pro teams recently of not putting up with guys who are hassles. If it was known by everyone here that Arizona was having issues with him, all the other GMs knew as well.
It could be like the Titus Young situation for the Lions (different sport I know), where no one's going to give much for him now that everyone knows he purposely lined up in the wrong place more than once to screw up his own team.

Seems like everyone on here is quick to play the blame game.
Everyone wants to quickly blame Bauer and say that he is uncoachable and doesn't respect what others tell him and that he's a hot headed kid.
But that's exactly what he is right? A kid. He's obviously not reached a baseball maturity level when compared to other players the same age, but is that necessarily his fault?
It could be that the Diamondbacka just don't know how to handle young talent. Weren't there problems with Justin Upton too? Didn't he have behavioral issues and clubhouse problems?
Idk everyone just always seems to want to look at one side of the picture. Maybe the Dbacks don't know how to handle him, so instead of trying to solve the problem he is having with the team, they just pawned him off on another.
I feel like Francona is a no nonsense kind of guy. If Bauer truly does have attitude problems then I'm sure they will be addressed.
I think it was a great trade for all teams. The Indians got some pitching that they desperately need and a right handed outfield bat, the Reds got a lead off man that they needed in Choo and the Dbacks, even though everyone feels like they were short sided in this deal got a short stop that could be good. Prospects are exactly that, prospects. No one really knows if Bauer will be the pitcher everyone thought and no one knows if Didi could be the next great short stop in the game. Only time will tell.
