Bauer had a 324-game MLB suspension reduced to 194 games by an arbitrator in December 2022.
LOS ANGELES — Former major league pitcher Trevor Bauer and a woman who accused him of beating and sexually assaulting her in 2021 have settled their legal dispute, Bauer’s attorneys said Monday.
Bauer was suspended an unprecedented 324 games by Major League Baseball, a ban reduced to 194 games by an independent arbitrator in December 2022. After Bauer’s suspension ended, the Dodgers cut him and no team picked him up.Bauer sued the woman, and she countersued. Their settlement calls for no exchange of money between the parties.
“Quite frankly, regardless of the outcome in court, I’ve paid significantly more in legal fees than [the accuser] could ever pay me in her entire life, and I knew that would be the case going in,” Bauer said in a video statement. “But the lawsuit was never about the money for me. It was the only way for me to obtain critical information to clear my name.
Bauer was never arrested or charged and has countersued, denying the allegations and accusing the woman of faking a pregnancy and trying to extort money from him.
