Trevor Bauer, Anthony Rizzo troll the Astros over sign-stealing scandal in spring training



Baseball's biggest stars continued to take shots at the Astros' sign-stealing scandal during spring training on Monday. Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo was mic'd up for an at bat against the Angels and joked about trying to figure out what pitch was coming, saying, "somebody bang for me." That, of course, was a reference to Houston banging on trash cans in 2017 to let hitters know which pitch was coming.

com/krkA4HCQM5 — Yahoo Sports MLB (@MLByahoosports) March 2, 2020 Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer took it a step further, telling Dodgers first baseman Matt Beaty what pitches were coming during a fourth-inning at-bat. Bauer got Beaty to line out to center field. The broadcast went on to speculate that the move was a dig at the Astros' cheating scandal, which was comfirmed by Reds second baseman Derek Dietrich.
Straight from Derek Dietrich: @BauerOutage was intentionally telling Matt Beaty what pitch was coming in that 4th-inning plate appearance.#RedsST🌵⚾ | @JimDayTV pic.twitter.

"So, Trevor’s not too fond of it, so he figured he’s gonna try something new this season. And he’s gonna start telling the batters what’s coming.
And that way there’s no ifs, ands or buts about what’s going on. Just here it comes, try to hit it.” These jabs are subtle compared to most of the shots players have taken at the Astros this offseason (see: Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Nick Markakis and basically the whole damn league).
And it doesn't look like anyone is backing off anytime soon..

Texans give Randall Cobb $27M contract after shocking DeAndre Hopkins trade

The Houston Texans have moved to sign Randall Cobb after their shock decision to trade DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Cobb has agreed a three-year, $27 million deal with Houston that contains $18.75m in guarantees, according to NFL Network. The move came after star wideout Hopkins was stunningly sent to the Cardinals in a package that saw running back David Johnson move in the other direction. TRADE GRADES: Cardinals hit home run with DeAndre Hopkins; Texans whiff on return Houston also netted a second-round draft pick this year and a fourth-rounder next year, while sending away their 2020 fourth-round selection.

Jose Bautista is attempting a comeback as a two-way player: Does former MLB outfielder have a chance?

José Bautista could be coming to a bullpen near you. People are familiar with the former outfielder of Blue Jays fame for his propensity of launching dingers a long way, his bat flip and the one time he got decked by Rougned Odor. But Bautista, now 39, is attempting a comeback — with a twist. Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, Bautista has been working out in the Dominican Republic as both a hitter and a pitcher. That's right, Bautista is attempting to make a comeback as a two-way player. I've seen video of Jose Bautista throwing a bullpen session. Couldn't tell the velocity, but one source said he can run his fastball up to 94. His slider had legitimate tilt -- threw a short one and a bigger bender. @STR0 said in January he could pitch in a big league bullpen. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 2, 2020 Per Passan, Bautista can run his fastball up to 94 mph., which is nothing to thumb your nose at, especially since he is an aging player. Bautista also boasts a slider that a...
