TORONTO – In the days leading up to Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, when Trevor Bauer sat in the Cleveland Indians' trainer's room getting treatment on his mangled right pinky, he kept asking the medical staff to use a soldering iron and burn shut the wound he suffered at a hotel when a drone he was repairing went haywire and sliced his finger from the nail to second knuckle. They laughed, even though they understood Bauer was dead serious and regretted not cauterizing it himself the night of the injury. I even had a soldering iron in my hotel room,” Bauer said.
