Trevor Bauer has mastered the art of the troll on Twitter, but at this point, his antics have almost turned into a whistle stop tour of sorts for the pending free agent hurler.

Two hours later, as the Dodgers-Padres NLDS nail biter was wrapping up, though, Bauer said something similar about the starter-strapped Friars, who are down their top two starters right now:
To be fair to both teams, and Bauer, though, the NL Cy Young favorite has a history of tossing out cookies like this on Twitter; earlier this week, in the span of 24 hours, he tweeted a pic of his boarding pass for a flight from Phoenix to Boston saying “hey Red Sox, you up?”; replied to a fan Tweet about leaving the Reds with “who says I’m not going to be around next year?”; and also responded to a fan’s pitch for coming to the Cubs involving increasing his YouTube reach with “but can you guarantee this though?”

One thing is clear: wherever Bauer ends up in 2021, that team’s Twitter is going to gain someone with one hell of a social media buzz.
