Trevor Bauer Teases Free Agency As Lids' First MLB Ambassador

Lids showed Bauer holding nine different hats, three on each arm with another trio of on his headLIDS

Free agent P Trevor Bauer is Lids' "first MLB Brand Ambassador," and the deal comes as he is "expected to be one of the most sought out players on the market this winter," according to Ethan Cadeaux of NBC SPORTS WASHINGTON. In an announcement image, Bauer was "holding nine different hats, three on each arm with another trio of caps on top of his head," each representing a "different ballclub." It is "worth wondering if Bauer -- who's one of the most outspoken players" in MLB and "never shy to share his opinion -- strategically chose which hats to wear in the announcement." In one of the photos, Bauer has a Mets cap "directly on his head," as that franchise is "expected to be vying for his services." The other photos had him "wearing a Reds hat, whom he's said multiple times he'd love to play for again" (NBCSPORTSWASHINGTON.com, 11/10). THE SOURCE's Shawn Grant notes Lids recently added rappers Meek Mill and Quavo, Broncos RB Melvin Gordon and top NBA trainer Chris Brickley "as partners" (THESOURCE.com, 11/10).
