KC Royals Most Disliked Rival Player of 2015 – Honorable Mention: Trevor Bauer
I decided to include an honorable mention because… Man, it was just too hard for me to leave Trevor Bauer off of this list. A lot of people might think this is random, but let it be known that Bauer most definitely has an attitude and isn’t afraid to show it.
The beginning of the season saw the Royals getting into arguments with just about every team they faced. When the Royals traveled to take on division rival Cleveland, Trevor Bauer made a statement in the first game when he sported a pair of boxing gloves in the dugout.

Now it could have just been that Bauer was supporting the Mayweather/Pacquio fight that was taking place that weekend. Based on his personality and the fact that the Royals were getting into it with everyone, I think this was Bauer taking a knock at the boys in blue.

After his latest start against the Royals in July, Bauer decided to get into it with Royals fans on Twitter.

I see people I have blocked are now making new twitter accounts to continue trolling me. Stay hot everyone. I'm really not that important

Now I’m all for standing up for yourself, but when you start bashing opposing fans, you just look immature. Bauer should be the better person in these situations rather than continue talking crap to fans.
I doubt as many Royals fans dislike Bauer as much as I do, but I personally think he’s annoying, and am glad the Royals beat him in his last outing against them.
The rest of the players on this list will likely have people agreeing with me.
