Trevor Bauer Returns to the Mound in Mexican Baseball League After MLB Suspension

After serving the longest suspension in the history of Major League Baseball’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy – ​​194 games – Trevor Bauer will once again take the mound to pitch against an MLB organization. .although he will do it with a team from the Mexican Baseball League.

Bauer, winner of the Cy Young Award in 2020 and who a few years ago obtained a contract of 102 million dollars for three seasons with the Dodgers, announced through a publication on his social networks that he will wear the flannel of the Red Devils of Mexico in the first exhibition game that they will play against the Yankees next Sunday at the Alfredo Harp Helú stadium.

The right-hander’s decision to cross south of the Rio Grande is due to his intention to capture the attention of MLB scouts and general managers to receive a second chance.

“I will pitch against the Yankees on March 24 as a member of the Red Devils. I also agreed to pitch five games for the Devils between April 11 and May 8 instead of a traditional Spring Training period, as it is the best way to be ready to pitch,” wrote Trevor Bauer.

The right-handed pitcher is recognized in the baseball industry both for his skill on the mound and for his explosive personality that has led him to appear before the United States justice.

The former Dodger has not pitched in an MLB game since he was placed on administrative leave following allegations of sexual assault by a woman in 2021, in which she claimed he hit her on two separate occasions at his home in Pasadena.

Bauer claimed they were consensual and denied the allegations. Prosecutors declined to file charges in February 2022.

MLB imposed a severe 324-game suspension on Bauer, which was later reduced to 194 games by an independent arbitrator in December 2022.

Bauer was released by the Dodgers after completing his suspension and no other major league club has signed him since. Last year he emigrated to Japan

Bauer’s legal saga has generated intense public scrutiny over issues of conduct, consent and the responsibility of professional athletes.
