Trevor Bauer has never been shy about expressing his feelings.

The Cleveland Indians traded Bauer to the Cincinnati Reds earlier this season.

"It was very easy coming in," Bauer said of coming to the Reds. "Everyone did a really great job of being accommodating and making it easy for me to make the transition. The information is great here, the coaching staff is great here. Overall I am a whole lot happier here than I was. Sometimes you don't realize how unhappy you are in a situation until you are out of it, because it's just kind of day-to-day life.

"I miss some of my teammates and stuff, but overall, I don't really miss a whole lot about Cleveland."

Bauer, 28, spent seven seasons in Cleveland.
