This whole episode was strange. Like a 50 shades of gray kind of strange.
I think there have been worse actions by players and they still played in MLB.

The guy is/was a great pitcher. Maybe Astros will pick him up.

He's a Cy Young winner who did not get criminally charged with anything. I could see him getting picked up by another team
Agreed.

If guys like Domingo German and Aroldis Chapman can get big contracts from the Yankees after using their girlfriends as heavy bags I don't see why they wouldn't give a big contract to Bauer.

Not being criminally charged doesn’t mean he didn’t do anything wrong

If it was simply “rough consensual sex” he wouldn’t have faced a long suspension or any at all

The Dodgers know Bauer is in the wrong even without criminal charges, and have wisely made choice to cut ties IMO

I'm going to disagree with you on that. If it was more than "rough consensual sex" there would have been charges filed. The woman continued to see Bauer and texted with him about it after the incidents took place. She only come out to the police/public after he was going to break it off with her.

Did he take it too far? IDK. But, he wasn't charged so its hard to say he did anything wrong.

MLB didn't have any more evidence than the police. If they did, they are criminally and civilly liable for not turning it over. So their action was not based on more "facts" in the case. They just had to take action to "save face" with the public. All pro leagues are not taking similar steps now due to backlash in the past.

There are no “definites” but odds of it being simply rough consensual sex is extremely low. Plenty of evidence suggests it’s more than that, doesn’t mean criminal charges are going to go forward

If I lost a year of my career for that I would be suing the MLB aggressively. That’s what any innocent person would do

Dodgers wouldn’t cut ties with an all league talent simply to save face, even if that seems logical on surface

Dodgers did the right thing

Hard to know what the facts really are. At the end of the day a very good baseball player has seemingly ruined his career & it is a sad tail.

Dodgers were going to bring him back despite all the "facts" MLB/LAD had on Bauer... but, when they met with him in Arizona, he did not show remorse so they changed their mind and flushed him.

So, Dodgers first impression was that they were willing to bring him back.



He will play in MLB again.
Guaranteed.

Recently a video has been released of the alleging victim, smiling & uninjured lying in bed next to a sleeping Bauer. According to Bauer this time frame was hours after he supposedly brutally and sexually assaulted this woman in regards to her claim. That’s one side of the story lol.
