Very much the latter.
This is such a bad take. We don't know these guys. The ones you think are the greatest guys on earth could be raging assholes away from the cameras. We only see what they want us to see. There's likely a significant percentage of professional athletes that you think are amazing people that wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. We. Do Not. Know. These people. At all.
And that's fine. But don't be the guy that believes Craig Biggio is way to ethical to have not juiced the last 10 years of his career. Or that Andy Petite really only tried steroids once. Or that Javy Lopez and that beautiful smile is way above that, etc...I don't think that makes those guys bad people, just underscoring that we don't know them. And Trevor Bauer being a douche canoe shouldn't prevent you from wanting him on your favorite team. At least he's open about it. Surely you can at least respect that.

You are using bad analogies. Steroids were legal then and though it may not have been ethical it wasn't against the rules. And none of those guys you mentioned were known a-hole cancers like Bauer.
And you can be a douche and still be a good teammate. See ARod and Barry. But if you can't play for a manager like Tito Francona than you have deeper issues.
Sorry man, Bauer is a cancer and just a bad guy. I'm not budging on this. There is a reason no MLB team has signed him in 2 years. He's cancer. If I'm on an island, that's fine. But I'm not changing my mind.
