The Chicago White Sox have great fans and players on their team that Trevor Bauer would love.

The Chicago White Sox have a fantastic fanbase. They are not even the biggest fanbase in the city of Chicago but they are the most passionate by far. The White Sox fans love their team wholeheartedly and want them to win at all costs. Sharing the city of Chicago with the Chicago Cubs feeds White Sox fans because we are tired of seeing the Cubs be more popular.

Trevor Bauer would love that fan rivalry. A lot of MLB rivalries are fed by the teams but this one is by the fans and Bauer would embrace it hard. He has also had issues with the Cubs in the past so playing for their crosstown rival would really make fans embrace him. They are also willing to back their players as much as they can.

As far as teammates, the White Sox provide some good ones. There are a lot of elite ones on the field every day and he would be surrounded by some on the pitching staff. Big personalities like Tim Anderson, Jose Abreu, and Lucas Giolito would be great with a guy like Bauer as they look to grow their brands as well. Tim Anderson and Trevor Bauer have had online exchanges in the past as well and it is clear that they would get along as teammates.
