You had to have known it wouldn’t be long.

Trevor Bauer has had it out for Major League Baseball for quite some time. He’s not about their old school, tight-knit ways.

And the man loves to market himself!

Though this is the *literal* sense of marketing and not exactly what’s covered the conversation at large in terms of making baseball more accessible and appealing to younger viewers, Bauer isn’t backing down.

The Los Angeles Dodgers star called out the league on Sunday after he received a letter in the mail warning him about his violation of the league’s uniform regulations during spring training.

Seems like that’s a “B” logo for “Bauer?” We know all about his Watch Momentum logo, but this one might be new to some fans.

What an offseason it’s been for the right-hander. First, he dealt with allegations of online harassment, then came the merchandise fiasco on his website with Mets fans, then he signed a record-breaking contract with the Dodgers, then he called out Fernando Tatis Jr.’s contract to prop up his own agent, then he was pitching with one eye closed at spring training, then he made sure to get involved in the rivalry with the Padres by attempting to annoy Manny Machado, and now we’re here.

Did we miss anything?

This is what we paid for, right? The entertainment? That’s what the record-breaking contract was all about … oh yeah, and to ensure his prime years would be played in Los Angeles.

There will be no shortage of Bauer headlines throughout 2021. As long as he does his job and continues to mow down the competition alongside Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, David Price, Julio Urias and Dustin May, nobody will care about the off-the-field stuff.

If helps the Dodgers repeat, he can do whatever he wants along the way. Even if that means walking to the mound with a giant “B” across his chest.
