Trevor Bauer Trade Rumors: Indians Still Evaluating Scenarios After Tantrum

With limited time before the July 31 trade deadline, the Cleveland Indians reportedly haven't made a decision about potentially trading Trevor Bauer. 

According to Buster Olney of ESPN, the team will "continue to evaluate possible trade scenarios" involving the right-hander. This is despite his actions on the mound during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals where he threw the ball over the center field wall out of anger:

Olney reported after the game that the incident could affect his trade value.

The Indians are 62-43 and only two games back in the AL Central (first wild-card spot).

Bauer, who has been up and down in 2019 with a 3.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP, finished tied for sixth in AL Cy Young voting last year. Most recently, he allowed seven earned runs in 4.1 innings Sunday against the Kansas City Royals, and he has had major problems with his control all season, leading MLB in both walks (63) and hit by pitches (14).

Still, there figures to be plenty of interest in a 28-year-old pitcher under team control through 2020 who had a 2.21 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP in 2018.

Jon Morosi of MLB.com reported the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres were interested, and with Marcus Stroman now with the New York Mets, a contending team may pay a premium.
