I really think the Mets should be the team that gives Trevor Bauer a chance. IMO his pitching skills were never in question, he just had the off field stuff, but I don't see that as any kind of problem at all, enough time has passed. He can be signed for cheap and may really help the Mets fight for a wildcard spot. I think he'd be so grateful that he would even accept a bullpen spot which the Mets desperately need.

We'll see what Stearns, but more importantly what Cohen thinks about that possibility.
If I had to choose...I'd be at 50-50...but lean no....but much of that would also depend on the money and the terms.
Perhaps a short term deal until the end of the season and then a possible invite to ST?
