LA Times: Angels step out on Trevor Bauer

According to Maria Torres from Los Angeles Times, the angels are on Trevor Bauer.

As Taylor describes in his article, “He’s not a very good fit for Anaheim, according to people with knowledge of Angels Thinking, even though the team offered him the all-time high (over $ 36 million). he would seek. “

Another reason the Angels aren’t a part of Bauer, according to Torres, is current pitching coach and former Mets manager Mickey Callaway.

As Torres explains, “Another disconnect between Bauer and the Angels is the coaching staff. Bauer previously worked with current Angels pitching coach Mickey Callaway in Cleveland from 2013 to 2017. They didn’t get along. Bauer has long adopted a progressive approach to pitching; It was one early adopter techniques such as throwing weighted balls, throwing use of cameras to improve locations. Callaway’s style is more traditional; he uses analytical tools sparingly. “

In a 2019 Illustrated sports “Bauer said of Callaway,” I’ll try to find all the ways to do better and I’ve probably done more research than you. Don’t tell me what I’m doing and what I don’t know without some good data. “

More importantly, Torres reports that the relationship between the former Mets manager and the potential Mets ace is “beyond repair,” according to his sources.

Bauer, 30, is said to have sparked interest this winter from the Mets, Blue Jays, Dodgers and Angels. The Blue Jays would have moved away from Bauer, according to Mark Shapiro, and the Angels would now be on Bauer, that leaves only the Mets and Dodgers.
