Trevor Bauer Enjoyed Feeling Like A Human For A Change
It’s been a turbulent few days for Trevor Bauer. His start Sunday was perhaps his worst of the year, and ended with Bauer angrily chucking the ball all the way over the wall in center.

The Three-Way Trevor Bauer Trade Looks Pretty Good For Everyone

The Lakers Really Want You To Know They Don't Want J.R. Smith

Trevor Bauer Knows He Could Just Not Pitch To Max Kepler, Right?
The Minnesota Twins are socking dingers at a historic pace, and the individual that is currently leading everyone on the roster in that stat is Max Kepler.

Max Kepler Kept Calling Trevor Bauer's Bluff
Twins outfielder Max Kepler was fantastic in Thursday’s 5-4 win over Cleveland as he went 4-for-4 with three home runs and a walk.
