Date for Trevor Bauer's grievance hearing against MLB is set
Bauer, 31, was given a 324-game suspension by MLB on April 29 for violating the league’s domestic violence policy. The two-year ban is the longest suspension since the policy was implemented in 2015 and Bauer is the first player to appeal a suspension under the policy.
Shortly after his suspension was announced, a woman from Columbus, Ohio, told The Washington Post that Bauer choked her unconscious without her consent dozens of times during a years-long relationship which began in 2013. She became the third women to make allegations against Bauer, after another Ohio woman sought a temporary restraining order against him in June 2020.
"In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy," Bauer wrote in a 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."
Per ESPN,"A third-party arbitrator hired by both MLB and the MLB Players Association — in this case, Marty Scheinman — will review the findings and preside over a hearing that could see witnesses testify and might extend over several months."Scheinman will have the power to determine if Bauer’s suspension will be denied, upheld or reduced.
