We asked AI to predict the team that will sign Trevor Bauer (& the response will ruffle a few feathers)

Trevor Bauer is looking to return to the big leagues after spending a year in Japan's NPB. In 2021, the former Cy Young Award winner was suspended and eventually let go by the Los Angeles Dodgers for violating the league's policy on domestic violence.

Bauer recently said he and his agents had talked to teams this offseason about a potential contract. However, no further details were mentioned.

With the possibility of Bauer returning to Major League Baseball, we asked AI to predict which team may sign him.

Who could Trevor Bauer sign with?

Bauer certainly has the talent to be a big-league pitcher, but are teams willing to anger some within their fanbase to sign him?

AI sees the Texas Rangers and the Los Angeles Dodgers as the top two teams to sign Bauer. The Rangers are coming off a World Series season and have the means to give out a big-time contract.

LA, on the other hand, has the means to sign anybody. Just look at the offseason it has had so far. But worries of fan criticism could take him off the table for both teams.

Another team AI points to is the Minnesota Twins. They could use an arm or two heading into the 2024 season. They lost Sonny Gray in free agency, and Kenta Maeda could follow.

The San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals are considered dark horses. However, the Giants have financial limitations, and the Cardinals may be hesitant due to his off-field issues.

The New York Mets are another dark horse candidate that could surprise some. They need another starting pitcher heading into the new season and have the financial ability to make a move.
