Okay, so I’ve been digging into this Trevor Bauer salary thing in Mexico, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a ride.
First off, I started by just trying to figure out what he’s actually making down there. You hear all sorts of numbers thrown around, but I wanted the real deal. So, I hit up a bunch of baseball news sites, you know, the usual suspects. Sifted through a lot of articles, and honestly, it was a bit of a mess. Some said one thing, others said another. Nothing concrete, you feel me?
Then, I decided to go a little deeper. I started checking out some Mexican baseball forums and fan pages. Figured maybe the locals would have some better insights. And yeah, they did! I found some threads where people were discussing Bauer’s contract with the Diablos Rojos del México. Apparently, there was a lot of excitement about him joining the team.
- I learned that his salary is tied to the number of games he pitches.
- It seemed like he’s getting paid per game, not a fixed seasonal salary.
- I even stumbled upon some local news reports, but I had to use a translator tool since my Spanish is, well, non-existent.
After piecing it all together, it looks like Bauer is making a decent chunk of change for each game he pitches. I saw numbers ranging from, like, $400,000 to $600,000 a month. So when he plays 4 games a month he could get $100,000 to $150,000 per game. It’s not MLB money, but it’s still a pretty good deal, especially considering the circumstances.
My Final Thoughts
Honestly, it was a bit of a headache to track down all this info. But it was also pretty interesting to see how baseball works in Mexico. It’s definitely a different vibe from the MLB, but the passion for the game is clearly there. And hey, Bauer seems to be doing alright for himself down there. Good for him, I guess. All I want to say, it was a little headache to get the real number. And the whole process took me a whole afternoon, I even missed my lunch!
