Trevor Bauer puts on boxing gloves for Royals game

Either Trevor Bauer is experimenting with a new combat training system (and with him, you can never rule out anything), or he came prepared for the Indians’ series with the Kansas City Royals Monday.

Bauer, who is scheduled to start in Tuesday’s game, was shown in the dugout with some Everlast boxing gloves on his hands at the beginning of the game. We’re guessing this was a nod to Kansas City’s recent penchant for starting fights with opponents.

Way to keep the mood light, Bauer. Though, if the Indians and Royals get into it, maybe rap master T could put out a diss track and make it all worth it.
