Yeah sorry Druff I’m gonna have to pass. You went from unlikely he’s charged to convicted of a felony in terms of a bet. You and I both know something like 80-90%% of cases are pled down and like I said earlier the only reason he probably skates is he’s a rich white guy. He’s fucked either way but that’s not a good bet for me based on all your stipulations.
Dodgers cancel the Bauer bobblehead night.

Anyway, looks like MLB will probably choose him as the sacrificial lamb to prove how seriously they're taking the domestic violence issue in the league. I'm starting to agree that there's a good chance he doesn't pitch again in 2021.

This isn’t new it has been happening for 5 years.
The Dodgers Facebook group must be a fascinating alternate reality.
I’ve seen some Dodgers Nation kind of daily podcasts and it’s completely sanitized silliness. Not a single mention. This is soooo unlike East Coast sports talk.
I am blessed and thanks to me Todd, so are you.
Druff vs all of PFA on the Trevor Bauer situation:

aaaand all Bauer merch is gone from mlbshop.
Anyone know if Bauer has a citizenship clause in his contract, and what it states? I'm sure there is one, but I wonder how strict it is.
Just about 100% sure the Dodgers would get out of the contract at this point if they had a way.
what would a citizenship clause be in a baseball contract? isn't Bauer from CA? I'm confused.
Being a good citizen. Code of conduct he has to maintain to be employed.
I'm glad Druff is finally seeing the light though.....Bauer is in deep shit and he won't be pitching again this year. He'll be lucky if they suspend him the rest of this year and he can start next year (on a new team).
It’s more a perception or public opinion issue. Bauer has already admitted to things that fans and media just aren’t going to get past in today’s world. We knew this from the start.
The legal outcome will be slow as shit cause Bauer is a US citizen (lol). The criminal & civil outcome won’t be clean either.
You knew everything you needed to know the first 2 or 3 days thanks to Bauer’s own admission via text.
There is always another arm.
There is already a lot of hindsight happening about the wisdom of ever signing a difficult guy like Bauer.
Every conversation seems to start with Cleveland and Tito Francona (who is beyond reproach as a players manager). It’s an easy visual with the ball being thrown over the fence.
I’m biased as I always think the Dodgers muck up the big move. They want to be Tampa Bay but they have too much money. But Bauer was idiotic.
They are tone deaf if not morally bankrupt as all they cared about was Bauer making his next start. I haven’t seen you guys talk about that. Blockhead Kasten joking to Dave Roberts to shift the Bauer conversation to sticky stuff then laughing. Clueless. That’s when Roberts said, “it’s out of our hands”. Roberts took a lot of heat but the insensitive stupidity began in the front office.
Friedman will take his lumps when game film is analyzed. Farhan Zaidi is looking like the smarter of the two.
That makes more sense, ty.
The Dodgers would not (and could not, I believe) have negotiated any such special thing into his contract, because it's already part of the collectively bargained standard player contract. Much like the specific illegality of fucking an unconscious chick in CA, this is an easy clause to find.

Lol, the Dodgers have to give Bauer cab fare home under the CBA.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m perceived as hyperbolic about the Dodgers.
The Dodgers made Trevor Bauer the highest paid baseball player. Think about that.
Regardless of the Cy Young - Bauer gave you a detailed video testimony of how he artificially achieved his results and incessantly and loudly begged for the means by which he achieved those results be prohibited.
Well baseball listened and Bauer regressed to who he once was.
Been listening to David Samson a lot in the last few weeks, entertaining podcast for sure, and he does a good weekly spot on Le Batard. His view is that, essentially, you need a conviction to void a contract, just being charged with stuff won't be enough to invoke the good citizen stuff, which makes sense.
