I'm aiming for the Cy Young Award + the Sawamura AwardIt's...Bauer, a left-handed man, is taken as a disgraceful image of arrogance.

Recently, a post on social media caused a stir. An American baseball reporter reported the injury of New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, who responded sarcastically. He wrote 'You can use a Cy Young Award-winning starting pitcher for free' It was at a time when UCLA alumnus and bitter rival Cole left with an elbow injury. The New York Yankees are in the mood of a portrait collection as not only Cole but also key players have left due to injuries just before the opening of the season.
Naturally, criticism poured in. It was more severe because it was a hate image that was taken firmly. Some suspect that Bauer was looking for a job against the New York Yankees, who had an empty starting position. While signing with Yokohama, I think he would have added a clause that allows him to leave whenever a major league call comes. It is a speculation that has not been confirmed to the end.
With this incident, the possibility of returning to the Major League has completely disappeared.
Bauer was expelled on charges of sexual assault when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He failed to return even after taking severe disciplinary action. I threw in Yokohama in 2023 and tried to make a comeback, but I failed. Last year, he had an enemy in the Mexican league and waited for a Major League call. He played an active role with 10 wins and no losses, but major league clubs completely turned a blind eye. In the end, he even offered to throw without an annual salary beyond the minimum salary. Nevertheless, there was no team to step up.

The Orix Buffaloes match at Kyocera Dome in Osaka on the 9th. Bauer, making his first start in an exhibition game, argued with the referee over the fork decision in the bottom of the second inning. The referee explained it through an interpreter, but he couldn't accept it. Because of this, the game was suspended for five minutes.
It is an action that can be seen as an attitude that lowers Japanese baseball. If you are a Yokohama fan, you may tolerate it, but it is difficult to see it in a good way from another team's point of view.
Bauer previously touched the Japanese' feelings. When an American sentenced to prison for a car accident in which two Japanese people died was repatriated to his home country and paroled, he posted on the man's SNS that he welcomed it. No matter how freely I wrote my personal thoughts on social media, it was an act that was difficult for the Japanese to understand. As criticism poured in, Bauer apologized in his YouTube comments.
The skills are undoubtedly top notch. He was 10-4 with a 2.76 ERA in Yokohama two years ago. He took the mound every five days in the Major League style. He showed off his fiery fighting spirit and played an active role.
