Yankees: Trevor Bauer trolls Barstool Red Sox blogger with NYY hint

Trevor Bauer certainly got his hands on that Yankees hat quickly, huh?

Yankees fans likely didn’t expect to pick sides in a Trevor Bauer–Jared Carrabis beef, but after one escalated on Thursday due to a 64-account Baseball Twitter bracket that has the whole online world buzzing, they couldn’t help but perk up.

It all began with the same light trash talk — Bauer claiming Carrabis would get his butt whooped one-on-one once the bracket whittled itself down, Carrabis claiming he didn’t need to concern himself with the opinion of the sheep-like free agent pitcher. All that good stuff.

But when Bauer turned the spotlight onto Carrabis’ slumping Red Sox franchise, the gloves came off.

Snoozing in 2020, snoozing in 2019, just waiting for that cheater Alex Cora to come back and re-install his cameras so all could be well again. What an amazing two years it’s been in Boston.

Carrabis had a comeback at the ready, insinuating Bauer would be joining the Sox soon, and might as well get all the jabs in he could in the interim.

That’s where we come in.

Bauer’s response? Grabbing a Yankees hat out of nowhere and showing Carrabis just how unlikely he was to ever use the home clubhouse at Fenway.

Now, is Bauer coming to the Yankees? Almost definitely not. He’s out of our budget, he’s clashed with Gerrit Cole. You know the story.

But at the very least, it’s pretty cool that — for the purposes of this bracket — he flicked the Red Sox away like a Cleveland midge. And also, he owns a Yankees hat! Probably because of his Lids sponsorship, but still. He let it into his home.

Bauer wasn’t the only person in his inner circle to create a little media beef on Thursday, though, all thanks to this all-powerful Baseball Twitter bracket.

Bauer’s agent Rachel Luba (aka AgentRachelLuba, all one word) got matched up with the fine folks at Jomboy Media, and uncorked a middle finger like you wouldn’t believe.

Imagine getting hit with that. No response. The probability of me being able to formulate words after opening that notification is basically equal to the probability of Bauer signing with the Yankees.

Still just about zero, but hey, he’s got the hat at the ready! Right? …Right?!
