Been waiting for someone to take a short-term deal for big money and bet on themselves, bucking the conventional wisdom of a long-term deal and "downside."

I admire Trevor's lack of fear of risk. Early enrolled at UCLA. Took Indians to arb 2x; won both. Short-term big FA deal.

Trevor scrapped an entire year of pro baseball in CLE to change his mechanics so he could stay healthy / throw harder (GIF below before changes).

Threw weighted balls well before it was cool (still isn't). Worked 6+ years to learn a slider.

No risk. No outlier success.

Trevor was willing to learn from @throwzone and @jaegersports, both doing "weird" things. Then spent entire off-seasons in a corrugated metal building at @TXBaseballRanch. Sought out @DrAndyGalpin. Biomechanics w/ Bob Keyes. Trained at @DrivelineBB.

Different = Risk.
