Trevor Bauer Inks Contract with Long Island Ducks, Named Opening Day Starter
The Long Island Ducks have signed right-handed pitcher Trevor Bauer for the upcoming season and have named him their Opening Day starter. Bauer spent 10 seasons in the MLB after being selected with the third overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks. During the 2020 season, Bauer enjoyed his best season as he won the NL Cy Young Award with the Reds when he logged 73 innings to the tune of a 1.73 ERA, 0.79 WIHP, and a career-best 36.0% strikeout rate. He last appeared in the majors during the 2021 season with the Dodgers. Following several accusations of sexual assault, Bauer took his professional career to the NPB, where he spent the 2023 and 2025 seasons. In 2025, Bauer logged 133 2/3 innings with a high 4.51 ERA. Given the time he has spent away from the major leagues, fantasy managers should not expect him to be in contention to return to an MLB club.
