Trevor Bauer's Twitter antics are becoming a distraction for him and the Dodgers

David
Samson broke down the impact these online situations can have on the
players and their teams on Monday's episode of "Nothing Personal with
David Samson."
Samson, the former Marlins president, introduced
the topic saying, "You know we sign these players, we want them to be
good, we want them to perform, we want to win, we want rings. We sign
players who we hope we're getting a bargain, we hope we're not
overpaying too much, we hope winning the offseason translates to winning
the season. We hope, we hope, we hope."
He said the Dodgers
signed Bauer because they wanted to repeat, and that they had to answer
to what the San Diego Padres did this winter. L.A. inked Bauer to a
three-year, $102 million deal earlier this month. Samson says he gets
it, but also says you have to really look at the player you're
signing.The podcast host says that eventually, it has to go to someone
higher up. "I want to tell you from a front office standpoint, at what
point do we have to get involved?" he asks.
Samson says they
would need to tell him that you don't want to provide bulletin board
material to any other team. They should explain they're not trying to
muzzle or mute him, but ask if he will give them the "30-second rule,"
which is taking 30 seconds to review whether that is something good to
tweet, Samson explained.
"Players have enough distractions right
now," Samson says and adds that more distractions will come from this
when the questions come at media availabilities.
"These types of distractions hurt a team, Samson concludes. "To me, Bauer's off to a bad start."
