I'm a little biased as I'm a Cleveland fan and a fan of Trevor Bauer. But Bauer got pissed at MLB for not letting him use super glue to close a cut he got before is start in the 2016 World Series but had no enforcement of this cheating. After that season he basically said "I'm going to use foreign substances to increase my spin rate and win a Cy Young." Then he did. Now MLB has been called out so they have to do something. The whole league is pretty mismanaged from a rules and cheating perspective though.

That's part of it (also a Cleveland fan here). Bauer suspected Houston of using substances to get a higher spin rate. He had worked out at Driveline in Seattle and knew what was possible and what wasn't without illegal substances. In his typical fashion, he accused Houston in the media and on Twitter. MLB didn't do anything about it. So naturally Bauer joined the club.
