"Can't wait until he’s gone from baseball" - MLB fans react to Trevor Bauer being dropped by BayStars after alleged bustup

Former MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer continues to be in the news despite not pitching in the major league for more than two years. Bauer last pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021.

The former Cy Young winner returned to the NPB this season after a successful stint in Mexico last year. However, things have not gone to plan as the veteran pitcher is going through a slump on the mound.

His woes worsened after the Yokohama DeNA BayStars dropped him from the roster over an alleged bust-up with the team's pitching coach, Shinji Ohara. Bauer reportedly had a heated exchange with Ohara after being pulled in his last start. The former Dodgers pitcher stormed off the dugout after his exchange.

MLB fans reacted to Bauer's heated exchange and his exclusion from the NPB team's roster.

"It’s never his fault lol. I cant wait until he’s gone from baseball," wrote a fan.

"I guess NPB teams don’t feel obligated to put up with diva behavior from a former MLB Cy Young winner when he currently has the literal WORST ERA in the league," mocked a fan.

"What excuses are his fans going to make now?" wrote another fan.

Fans mocked Trevor Bauer's supporters, throwing shade at his aspirations of returning to MLB.

"And people want him to pitch in the major leagues lol," wrote a fan.

"Another bad day for the "sign Bauer he's an ace!!" Crowd. Can't even produce in a league with a dead ball," a fan wrote.

When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.
