The current state of the World Series is intriguing. It’s not the Arizona Diamondbacks or Texas Rangers game that left fans in shock. Something surprising stirs the pot in game 3 of the World Series on Monday. Mookie Betts, 2x World Series Champion, was present at the Chase Field, not as a player this time. Betts was seen spending time behind the cage with D-Backs rookie outfielder, Corbin Carroll. However, this time it’s not the player’s on-field skills that have attracted fans, but it’s Betts’ confession about ex-Dodger Trevor Bauer. 

This surprising take on Trevor Bauer added a twist to the tale, thanks to Mookie Betts, who is loved by all. But what exactly happened in game 3, that lit the spark?

The 2020 NL Cy Young Award Winner, Trevor Bauer, was suspended from the MLB, as the pitcher had violated serious domestic and sexual assault charges. Bauer was suspended for 194 games, and later Dodgers decided to let go of the pitcher. Unfortunately, no other MLB teams have signed him due to alleged serious violation charges. Henceforth, he played in Japan. Trevor Bauer has not faced charges related to these accusations. But now the intriguing question remains, how is Mookie Betts’s confession shedding light on this scandal?

Dodgers star Mookie Betts was invited to the game 3 of the World Series as an analyst this Monday. Amidst the breathtaking game, what captured the fans’ attention is the statement made by Betts.

In between the conversation, Betts confessed, “My experience with Bauer is not anything remotely close to what everyone else’s experience is. I love him. I think he’s an awesome guy. The personal things? I have no control. I have no say. Obviously, nothing ever came from it”. Surprisingly, this doesn’t end here.

The Dodgers player hopes that the MLB teams will consider signing Bauer for next season. Per Los Angeles Times, his words towards his ex-teammate were, “It’s something to think about. He’s an awesome pitcher. He’s a great guy, somebody who wants to take the mound every fifth day. But, at the end of the day, I don’t make the decision. That’s a decision that’s not as simple as baseball.”
