How does MLB keep the guy suspended after an independent judge pretty much said he did nothing wrong?
Brothers Pipes called it, so what he smacked a Hoe around a bit in the sack. Fellas the guy is innocent, the Hoe was trying to get a pay day. Get him back on the moundQuote:

You can get forgiven for a lot of shit in America but choking women out by the hair and punching them in the vagina isn't it - even if fully consensual.
Going MAGA like Aubrey Huff may be a way to stay in the spotlight but he'd be wise to take his money and run.
Will he get the full $120 million or whatever it was for 3 years? Or do the Dodgers have an out? It’s hard to imagine they can use the conduct detrimental angle if a judge ruled nothing untowards happened.Quote:

The Pasadena Police and the MLB have not completed their investigations. At the same time, remember that the MLB supersedes the police and the courts.Quote:

Trevor Bauer’s inability to not be a jerk could cost him; Laine traded for Dubois
ByJesse Spector

For entertainment purposes I’ll point out again that fans are violent and aggressive these days. As well, the MLB has a line of women’s wear that they promote and have a woman announcer on Sunday Night Baseball. You don’t need to antagonize game and it’s fans with this affair and his act.
Most importantly…..
For nearly a decade he’s reveled in being brash, outspoken and proudly not giving any fucks what the public thought. The MLB front office and franchises have no guarantee that he won’t go off about this whole affair at some later date if he is reinstated somewhere.
It’s time Druff came to terms with the fact that the MLB isn’t woke…. the public is
Jayjami is correct. There is a ton of misunderstanding out there regarding the restraining order hearing, and the purpose of it.
The question at hand was, "Is Trevor Bauer presently a danger to this woman?"
The question was NOT, "Did Trevor Bauer commit a crime against this woman in the past?"
Even if the answer to the second question is YES, a restraining order is not typically granted unless there is reason to believe the person will re-offend. In Trevor Bauer's case, it is highly unlikely he will stalk and/or attack the woman at this point.
This doesn't let him off the hook for the other stuff.
Regarding the judge's statement that Bauer "didn't exceed limits set" by the woman, that would be great for him if that's the determination in possible upcoming civil or criminal cases, but here it doesn't have much effect outside of the restrainig order matter.
Basically the judge was saying, "Trevor Bauer hurt her while she was expressing a desire to be hurt. Now that she is not expressing that desire, it's highly unlikley Trevor will ever hurt her again." I'd agree with that.
MLB will probably make a sacrificial lamb out of him, though. Between this and banishing Felipe Vazquez, they can wave the "we care about domestic violence and sexual exploitation" flag, and fend off the woke mob for awhile.
Kinda reminds me of that Oregon State pitcher whose juvenile record got out, I think he pitched some in Mexico but that is about it.
Bauer is unlikely to play MLB ever again.

They finally make it an official wrap on Trevor's season.
Yeah that was a fun local story.Quote:

All the fucking moron had to do was stay up to date with sex registration (which may have even been sealed?) and it would have been sealed as part of juvie record. He failed to do so and it turned up.on a background check, costing him his career and untold millions.
:baddecision
He has a path back into MLB because he's still only 30, and so far he hasn't lost any legal proceedings. If he continues to beat everything going forward (which he might, because there's substantial evidence on his side which cloud these allegations), then it only becomes a matter of optics for MLB going forward.
It might be hard for MLB to justify a complete ban after he's not shown to have committed wrongdoing in a court of law. There might be some teams who take a shot on him for cheap, especially ones with a low budget which aren't drawing fans anyway.
He probably isn't coming back to the Dodgers or any high profile team which would have a lot to lose by signing him.
Nah. Corporations are woke. I doubt most of the public, especially baseball watching demographic, are woke. Most of us are just cowed into submission, and dont want to get on the wrong side of the people who can and will make our life difficult if we speak up against wokeism. Also, it is not like women are some monolithic group that always sides with the woman in these situations. Most of the women I know believe Kobe was set up for instance.Quote:

lol at the fucking morons you know thinking kobe was set up
Trevor Bauer will NOT face any criminal charges for allegedly punching and choking a woman unconscious during sex.
Great news, now he can join the rest of the players sitting at home on their asses because both sides can’t get this nonsense figured out.Quote:

Bad news for Dodgers, because now they're stuck with his contract.
The lack of charges isn't surprising. The chick was too willing in her pahticipation in the whole thing. Yes, he was a lot rougher than he was supposed to be, but she came back a 2nd time wanting rougher sex, and that's what she got.
His career is probably dead, though. Maybe some failteam will take a shot with him, but I'm guessing it won't happen.
Yep and its gonna suck for Phoenix Metro majorly if as I suspect Spring Training gets totally hosed thats a 600M gutpunch to the economy here across the board from tax revenue to hospitality and everything in between.. Usually Spring Training is the last hurrah for rideshare here before the summer slowdown because things start getting warmer quickly come April and things tail off from May till September basically with few exceptions due to the blast furnace. Unlike Vegas its not a huge tourist destination when its hot as hell here.Quote:

The Bauer news assures me that Dodger sign Freeman not Kershaw
Suspended 2 seasons, 324 games.
Provided this holds up, the Dodgers will be receiving around $60m BACK, which is a huge win for them.
Hope he wins every lawsuit he files and gets paid for the entire contract. 2 years is absolutely crazy when Chapman got 30 and used a firearm.
Really good for the Dodgers that Bauer is stubborn and didn't want to settle with the league, and instead is taking this all-or-nothing approach with the appeal.Quote:

After Watson situation, and now Bauer, the next super agent is going to ask for, and get, language about guaranteeing money if the league suspends a player where law enforcement takes a pass. The Browns basically circumvented it with the structure of their deal.
Knew being an outspoken, slightly autistic dickhead and talking shit about MLB was going to come back and bite him eventually.
Lol, had he just beaten the shit out of a few he probably gets like 1/4 of that suspension, if that. Punching vaginas likely did it, along with running his mouth.Quote:

Relative to his likely Pitching production himself minus the Team behind him hes overpaid imo. Chris Sale even tho on a terrible Team atm is an Ace has all of the ability, Max Scherzer of course an actual sub 3 ERA MLB Ace. Trevor Bauer and over many years is no Chris Sale he was on a decent team with the Indian's which makes him look better than he is. An actual 2-3 ERA over 15 Game+ pitchers aren't born everyday so, you should pay them few. Actual real proven too Aces like a Max Scherzer is for example, they aren't found all over so you should pay them few imo.. Sale/Kershaw/Strasburg are an actual MLB Ace pitcher for example, and of course like many things in life sometimes Pitchers have bad stretches could be the team injury. You need 2 Aces to win a MLB Championship 1 isn't enough..
7 and 5 Game Sample is Playoff Baseball
2 Aces pitch 4 of them 7 Games and lol gl having to face 2 actual Ace Pitchers in MLB playoffs when the pressure is on, and expecting to crush on of the few actual MLB Aces which im tellin you right now in Baseball pitchers matter. They keep the score down and the Game still winnable so muy importante obviously...
There’s now a 3rd woman who’s come forward with allegations. She claims sex was consensual but during it he took it beyond the bounds of her consent.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...e-accusations/
In any event he’s definitely a weird dude.
Meanwhile DeShaun Watson, basically a documented serial predator, will get like a 4 game suspension in line with your standard DV case.
It's murky shit for leagues and teams to police; teams invest massively in these assholes and fans want results. Most are willing to stomach some wild shit but the Bauer details are a bridge too far, despite not even being criminal I think.
Don't forget that at the core here, these leagues are run by regular American people, with the same emotional tendencies as any other human. Bauer was/is a pain in the ass to MLB with his social media presence and criticisms. He BLATANTLY showed how sticky stuff helps. In a sport that loves its unwritten rules, Bauer breaks all of them.Quote:

BUMP
Bauer released by the Dodgers. Today was the deadline for them to decide.
https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1611517010554523649
I'd love to blame this on the woke fanbase of LA demanding this, or other wokes within the organization, but I can't.
In reality, some players were highly against his return, most notably good Christian boy Clayton Kershaw, and political conservative Max Muncy. I am not sure why Muncy felt so strongly (maybe he's also Christian?), but I can imagine that Kershaw was just completely disgusted by Bauer's shenanigans. Kershaw is married to his first and only girlfriend (together since high school), and is the guy I'd vote "least likely MLB player to cheat on his wife".
Bauer will be a Colorado Rockie. Calling it now
having trouble figuring out why anyone gives a fuck how this dude fucks his chicks, it's baseball.
literally throw/catch/hit the ball and run
(this is a play on shut up and dribble)
football nigs don't care if a dude beats his wife, kills dogs, rapes or murders, same thing in basketball
Bauer seems pretty based to me
If a chick gets off to being punched in the pussy and asks you to do it, then blackmails you for said punching.
Have you really done anything wrong? Does she belong in jail?
It’s an odd story all the way around.
They're also just really good without him, don't want the headache and money is no object to them. This isn't hard.Quote:
