“Astros Will Sign Him”- Amidst a Reduced Suspension, LA Dodgers Prepares to Pink Slip Trevor Bauer and Find Support of Fans

Despite a successful first segment of his career and being the 2020 NL Cy Young Awardee, Trevor Bauer reached the wrong side of the headlines after facing assault allegations in June 2021. And once these allegations were confirmed, Bauer received a 324-game ban, which extended across the 2022 season.

However, in April 2022, after an appeal, Bauer’s suspension got reduced to 194 games. And to the 2018 All-Star’s luck, the Dodgers decided to reinstate him, despite his season-long absence. Now, as the 2023 season approaches, it means a comeback for the 31-year-old. But some members is the Dodgers clubhouse wish otherwise. And a comeback may not be easy for Trevor Bauer, especially when the same team that reinstated him wants him gone. And this emotion is completely seconded by fans.

Los Angeles Dodgers are preparing to lose their stained pitcher!

As reported by MLB Insider Jon Heyman, and seconded by the B/R Walk-Off, the Dodgers are planning to release Bauer because “some in their clubhouse prefer him elsewhere.” Naturally, after Bauer’s scandalous 2021 assault allegations, not many teams would want to have him in their bullpen, the Dodgers included.

As a result, the Dodgers front office is preparing to pink-slip Trevor Bauer, despite his decent numbers over the years, and a late-career surge in 2020.

However, fans are more than happy with Bauer being gone and largely distant from their franchise – which explained their prompt and celebratory response to the potential dismissal of the righty-pitcher.

This is how fans reacted:

It is worth mentioning that in early 2021, prior to the sexual assault allegations, Bauer signed a three-year contract with the Dodgers. He was leading the National League in strikeouts and innings pitched until he was placed on administrative leave on July 2. The subsequent hiatus has had a lasting impact on his now-stained MLB career.

Why did Trevor Bauer not play in 2022?

Notably, after being in violation of the MLB’s MLB’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy, Bauer faced a 324-game suspension (which eventually turned into 194 games).
