Trevor Bauer Shares Photo of His Ruined McLaren After it Was Apparently Totaled By Semi-Truck Tire
By Karl Rasmussen
Trevor Bauer will have a little extra to be thankful for this holiday season.
The Reds pitcher shared a photo on Twitter on Wednesday which featured his McLaren looking completely destroyed, next to a wall with a massive dent in it. Bauer alleges that his car got totaled by a semi-truck's tire, despite it appearing to be parked indoors.
Yesterday, if you told me a semi truck would total my Mclaren, I would’ve believed you. If you told me it would happen like THIS? I would’ve said you’re out of your mind. If this isn’t @Mayhem I don’t know what is @Allstate pic.twitter.com/XqdiIgojB8

We have absolutely no idea what occurred here, but the aftermath looks pretty brutal, as Bauer's ridei was crushed by what he alleges was a semi-truck's tire.
Somehow, Bauer kept his composure throughout the damage to the car -- which is worth around $300,000 -- even making a joke about the Mayhem character in Allstate's car insurance commercials.
The alarming incident apparently took place on Tuesday, though it doesn't seem anyone was injured, based on Bauer's post.
Did you think a change up was coming with that loud thud?

The runaway tire seems to have left a nasty dent in the garage wall, and completely devastated the back of Bauer's McLaren.
Bauer was acquired by the Reds at the trade deadline from the Indians, but struggled in his half-season in Cincinnati. He logged a 6.39 ERA with the Reds, going 2-5 with 12 homers surrendered in 10 starts.
