Once upon a time, Trevor Bauer was one of the crown jewels of the Arizona Diamondbacks' farm system.

Apparently that's no longer the case.

According to ESPN MLB writer Jerry Crasnick, the team is willing to listen to offers for the young right-hander.

The organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year, Bauer compiled a 1-2 record to go along with a 6.06 ERA in four starts with the Diamondbacks last season. He struck out 17 in 16.1 innings, but struggled with his command and only lasted more than five innings just once.

Then again, while few doubt whether Bauer is talented enough to succeed, some believe he needs to mature or be open-minded.

It's worth noting that Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers is never one not to listen to an offer, meaning this could just be standard operating procedure.

However, if the team is as down on the former No. 3 pick as Crasnick suggests, a deal could happen in the near future.

    Sign Josh Hamilton to a 5 year deal. Trade Justin Upton for Elvis Andrus, then trade Bauer, Corbin and Wheeler for David Wright!!!!! Wow that would be sick.

    Broken arm
    With his warm up routine and bad attitude, he is going to blow his arm so fast. Dump him for Chase Headley, and Upton for Elvis Andrus.

    here's and idea...
    How about rather than dump a young talented pitcher b/c he's quirky the organization try's to temper his enthusiasm and help him mature and grow into a man. Just an idea.

    Daammmnnnn bro, you are thinking the way I am thinking. We got rid of Young for a reason. Now let's trade J-Up to TX & get Adrus. Package a deal for D Wright would be sick but getting Headley as an alternative would also be huge. Put Parra in Right with Kubel in left.

    Agree with patience
    If Bauer is such a talent, the team should have the vets pull him aside, rather than shun him and teach him how to be a pro/team-player. There is a reason the D-backs took him, knowing his personality, see if his immense pans out.

    Take your David Wright poster down
    What is this the David Wright fan club? Wright is a good player but he is not worth 2 young stud pitchers. Corbin is a solid young lefty and Bauer has the potential to be an ace, far more valuable than a 30yr old injury prone 3rd baseman. Andrus is a stud but I am still not giving up on Upton, the guy was hurt all last year and is ONLY 24.

    Poster....not quite
    I just think this team needs a RBI guy whether it is Wright or Headley. We are missing that & J-Up isn't doing it. He's been in the league 5-6 years now.

    Too much for Wright
    Wright is too injury proned and too old to boot. Why don't they try actually training these young guys instead of rushing them up to the bigs to see if they explode of not? I'm losing faith in our brass.

    Become the GM, Dale!
    If a guy is dominating the minors, bring them up. That's what Bauer was doing and what Goldschmidt was doing. You complaining about Goldy being up with the big team? Obviously they would love to bring up a 3B who could play, they just don't have one. I understand the allure of Wright, he would kill it at Chase, but not for 7 years at $18+ a year for a guy his age.
