Trevor Bauer apologizes to ESPN for wrongly calling them out
Trevor Bauer apologized to ESPN on Monday for calling them out over the weekend for supposedly airing a phony tweet about him.
A writer for The Ringer sent a facetious tweet on Friday about Bauer supposedly taking on an alternative recovery program from his fractured fibula.
Trevor Bauer says that the doctors' timeline for his return is based on outdated mainstream medicine and he's begun a course of blood transfusions and colloidal silver to rid his body of CIA nanites. He anticipates missing two starts, three tops.

Though the tweet mentioned he would be taking “colloidal silver to rid his body of CIA nanites,” it was easy to fall for the joke; Bauer is such an alternative thinker that you really can’t discount anything with him. He’s the same guy who wanted to cauterize a wound with a soldering iron.
In fact, MLB Network aired the tweet as if it were legitimate news. Bauer tweeted to let everyone know the tweet was not true. He also accused ESPN of airing the tweet.
For anyone who thinks this is actually true, it’s not. Saw this on the crawl of espn. Couldn’t hear the audio so not sure how they’re presenting it but it is not true at all. @espn https://t.co/cwITJLrrxi
