MLB has declared Bauer ineligible through April 2024 — beyond the end of his contract with the Dodgers. Bauer has announced he will appeal the suspension.
MLB has announced an unprecedented 324-game suspension of Dodgers right-hander Trevor Bauer for violating its domestic violence, sexual assault and child-abuse policy.
Bauer has repeatedly characterized his interaction with the woman who has accused him of sexual assault as “consensual rough sex.” He announced earlier this week that he had, accusing her of lying in “a fake police report” and attempting “to destroy Mr. Bauer’s reputation and baseball career, garner attention for herself, and extract millions of dollars from Mr. Bauer.”
“In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy,” Bauer said in the statement. “I am appealing this action and expect to prevail. As we have throughout this process, my representatives and I respect the confidentiality of the proceedings.”Bauer will not be paid while on suspension, potentially saving the Dodgers $60 million of Bauer’s three-year, $102 million contract.
