The 2021 Cleveland Baseball Organization

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Bauers could still make it in another organization.
Baseball is all about talent and opportunity.
Jesus Aguilar was let go by the Indians and became an all star ⭐.
Bauers didn't do much with his opportunity here in Cleveland.
Good luck.
 
Jake Bauers and Babe Ruth both traded for cash! He's in elite company.

I'm very happy Bauers is no longer an Indian.
Me too, but I do wish him well. It's really too bad that he struggled so mightily in a time when Cleveland needed him the most. There can be no excuses for Jake because he was afforded every opportunity.
 
Sorry if I missed it, but it looks like the return for Bauers will be an actual player and not cash..

Wonder if it will be a legit lotto ticket or a AAAA/Bauers type... My guess is lotto ticket/non rostered player.

Interesting. I wonder if Bauers performance in Seattle has any effect on the return?

Edited to say that maybe they have 3 players picked out. A good performance would get the better of the 3 and a poor performance the opposite.
 
I would expect the player to be named to be an org filler and nothing more valuable.

That or the cash option..
If cash, I figure it will be more than the dinner payment that was Dave Winfield in 1994 but not much..

Pure guess on my part but if truly a player, the extra time is almost long enough to allow for the player selected to be named post-R5 draft process at the winter meetings this year (6 months to make a pick/ 2021 R5 draft is December 10, 2021)

Looks like it is a PTBNL - no or cash mention.

I hear you, but Zach Meisel & other tweets as the trade news was released did note it as Jake Bauers for PTBNL or cash.

The important point: Jake Bauers is gone. :coffee:
The return: Not having Jake Bauers any longer... :celb (7):
I fully expect an epic chorus of boos if Jake is announced as entering the game for Seattle this weekend.. So I'm just grabbing the popcorn and waiting. :popc1:

Why would anyone boo him?

Well did a little more digging and it looks like the deal is complete and it was for cash....

In return, Seattle sent cash considerations to complete the deal.

 
Last night in the Mexican League, Bartolo Colon pitched a complete game. 7 strike outs and 2 earned runs.
Anybody think he's worth a flier?

the real question is is he over/under 300 lbs by now?

never mind. I just watched a video. I'm taking the over.

re Bauers - i was surprised as i breezed the internet and found writers from several teams suggesting he could be a nice pick up for the team they cover
