Trevor Bauer continues trolling Astros, wears trash can cleats during game

Trevor Bauer took his never-ending trolling of the Houston Astros to another level Saturday.

For his outing against the Chicago White Sox, the Cincinnati Reds right-hander jogged to the mound sporting cleats with an obvious reference to Houston’s sign-stealing scheme.
The reference, of course, is to the most talked about aspect of Houston’s scheme — the banging of a dugout trash can intended to send signals to the batter.

If that wasn’t obvious enough, the phrases “Dark Arts” and “Codebreaker” are written across the back in reference to code words used by Houston.

Major League Baseball launched an investigation into the Astros scheme after former pitcher Mike Fiers blew the whistle. The Astros were hit with a $5 million fine, lost their top two picks in the next two drafts and saw general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch hit with one-year suspensions. Both were fired the day the punishment was announced.

Even before then, Bauer had been involved in a social media-driven feud with Astros third baseman Alex Bregman. Since the scandal broke, Bauer has been among Houston’s most outspoken critics. That included a spring training media session where he labeled the Astros “cheaters” and “hypocrites.”
