We’ve cooperated fully with MLB’s investigation since it began, and we fully support MLB’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy, and the Commissioner’s enforcement of the Policy. We understand that Trevor has the right to appeal the Commissioner’s decision. As we have throughout this process, my representatives & I respect the confidentiality of the proceedings.” “It’s so out of my control or any of our control, so we’re just focused on what we can control.” “From our standpoint, it’s being handled by the league office,” president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said on October 27. Bauer has been on administrative leave since the start of spring training this year, missing the first 18 regular season games, bringing his total to 111 games on leave. Criminal charges are not required for suspension under MLB’s policy, which was agreed on by owners and players through collective bargaining.

MLB suspended Trevor Bauer for two seasons after completing an investigation into sexual assault allegations against the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher.

In February, the L.A. District Attorney's Office said it would not criminally charge the MLB pitcher. Bauer last played in the MLB in 2021. He posted an 8-5 record in 17 games before being placed on leave. "In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league's domestic violence & sexual assault policy," he wrote. In 2021, Bauer signed a three-year deal with the Dodgers worth $102 million. - Bauer, 31, has denied the allegations.

Following an investigation, Bauer has been disciplined under MLB's policy governing sexual assault.

We've cooperated fully with MLB's investigation since it began, and we fully support MLB's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy, and the Commissioner's enforcement of the Policy. We understand that Trevor has the right to appeal the Commissioner's decision. "I agreed to have consensual sex; however, I did not agree or consent to what he did next. As ESPN's Jeff Passan and others have noted, all others suspended under this MLB policy have agreed to disciplinary specifics and as a result received credit for games missed during the investigation. His suspension is by a substantial margin the longest in the history of the policy, which dates back to 2016. The league's collectively bargained domestic violence policy allows MLB to discipline Bauer even if no criminal charges are filed. The latter announced on February 8 that Bauer would not face criminal charges in relation to the allegations.

Bauer, a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, had been on leave from the club as he faced allegations of sexual assault. Prosecutors in Los Angeles had ...

Bauer is the 15th player to be suspended as part of the league’s policy on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. “The Dodgers organization takes all allegations of this nature very seriously and does not condone or excuse any acts of domestic violence or sexual assault,” the statement said. In the N.F.L., where Deshaun Watson was accused of sexual assault by numerous women — he has denied all allegations — the young quarterback was given a contract by the Cleveland Browns that guaranteed him $230 million. He will be 33 at the start of the 2024 season — still young enough to be an effective pitcher for several years — but would need a team to look past the allegations in hopes of strengthening its starting rotation. Bauer called the report “a false narrative” and accused the woman of attempting extortion. “In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy,” Bauer’s statement said.

El lanzador de los Dodgers de Los Ángeles, Trevor Bauer, fue suspendido dos temporadas completas, anunció MLB el viernes.

La Oficina del Fiscal de Distrito consideró y rechazó los cargos de agresión por medios que probablemente producirían grandes lesiones corporales y sodomía de una persona inconsciente durante el primer encuentro sexual entre Bauer y la mujer el 22 de abril, y violencia doméstica durante el segundo encuentro sexual el 16 de mayo. La mujer, que proporcionó fotografías y registros médicos como parte de su declaración DVRO, afirmó que se despertó la mañana después del segundo encuentro sexual con dos ojos morados, la mandíbula y los pómulos hinchados, y rasguños de color rojo oscuro en el lado derecho de ella. Días antes del inicio de esa audiencia, el Washington Post publicó una historia sobre una segunda mujer, de Ohio, que solicitó una orden de restricción temporal contra Bauer en junio de 2020 y también lo acusó de agresión. La mujer desestimó la orden seis semanas después, luego de que los abogados de Bauer amenazaran con emprender acciones legales, según el informe. Cinco días después, los Dodgers cancelaron el homenaje programado de Bauer con un bobblehead y retiró su mercancía de sus tiendas, afirmando que el equipo "no consideró que fuera apropiado mientras continúan las investigaciones". En su declaración, la mujer, a quien ESPN ha decidido no nombrar, esencialmente afirmó que Bauer llevó el sexo duro consensuado demasiado lejos, alegando que la estranguló hasta dejarla inconsciente en múltiples ocasiones, la arañó y golpeó repetidamente en todo el cuerpo, la sodomizó sin consentimiento, y la dejó con lesiones que justificaron un viaje a la sala de emergencias. Pero ella puso límites sin considerar todas las consecuencias, y el demandado no excedió los límites establecidos por el peticionario".

El Comisionado Robert D. Manfred anunció el viernes que tras una extensa investigación por parte del Departamento de Investigaciones de MLB, el lanzador de ...

La organización de los Dodgers toma en serio alegaciones de esta índole y no justifica ni excusa ningún acto de violencia domestica ni abuso sexual. Hemos cooperado plenamente con la investigación de MLB desde que inició, y apoyamos por completo la Política de Violencia Domestica, Abuso Sexual y Abuso de Menores de MLB y la imposición de la Política de parte del Comisionado. Entendemos que Trevor tiene el derecho de apelar la decisión del Comisionado. Por lo tanto, no haremos más comentarios hasta que termine el proceso”. “Hoy se nos informó que MLB ha concluido su investigación sobre las alegaciones hechas en contra de Trevor Bauer, y el Comisionado ha emitido su decisión acerca de la disciplina.

Bauer, a former Cy Young winner, hasn't pitched since last summer, when he was accused by a California woman of assaulting her during consensual sex.

He specifically denied those accusations in February, in a video he filmed following the decision by the DA’s office. And in February, following months of deliberation, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office publicly declined to prosecute Bauer, announcing that prosecutors were “unable to prove the relevant charges beyond a reasonable doubt.” Bauer treated the DA’s decision as a vindication. Bauer earned $38 million, a single-season record, from the Dodgers last year, despite missing the season’s second half and playoffs. In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence & sexual assault policy. The suspension is twice as long as the previous longest punishment under the policy, that of pitcher Sam Dyson last year.

We’ve cooperated fully with MLB's investigation since it began, and we fully support MLB’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy, and the Commissioner’s enforcement of the Policy. We understand that Trevor has the right to appeal the Commissioner's decision. The league and the union agreed on March 18 to extend Bauer’s administrative leave by a month in the hopes of reaching a resolution by April 16 but twice extended it an additional week, until Friday, to finish the interviews. The league’s investigation is complete as of this week, according to a person familiar with the process. “Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr. announced today that following an extensive investigation by MLB’s Department of Investigations, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has received a suspension for 324 championship season games (representing two full seasons) without pay, effective today, for violating Major League Baseball’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy,” the league said in a statement. Bauer is expected to become the first player in history to appeal a suspension levied under the joint domestic violence agreement.

El comisionado de MLB, Rob Manfred, ha decidido suspender dos años de calendario regular al pitcher abridor de los Dodgers, Trevor Bauer.

MLB announced that Dodgers right-hander Trevor Bauer has been suspended 324 games for violating the domestic violence/sexual assault policy.

In essence, the suspension absolves the Dodgers of the remainder of the commitment owed to Bauer, who signed a three-year, $102MM contract in the 2020-21 offseason. Some readers may want to avoid the comments section on this post entirely, while others may employ use of the mute button. Bauer, who announced this week that he has filed a defamation lawsuit against his accuser, has been on administrative leave throughout the first several weeks of the 2022 season as Manfred and his office have conducted their own investigation into the matter. We’ve cooperated fully with MLB’s investigation since it began, and we fully support MLB’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy, and the Commissioner’s enforcement of the Policy.

That process dragged into the new year, but on Feb. 8, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office announced that criminal charges would not be brought forth. In August, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied a permanent restraining order to the alleged victim, bringing a close to that civil hearing.

LOS ANGELES -- Trevor Bauer has been suspended for two full seasons by Major League Baseball following the league's investigation of domestic violence and ...

Major League Baseball had been conducting a separate investigation of its own over the last nine months in order to determine if Bauer violated the league’s domestic violence policy. Bauer, whose leave was set to expire on Friday, has been paid while away from the club. He was due $64 million over the last two years of that deal, which ends at the conclusion of the 2023 season. Bauer, 31, was placed on paid administrative leave after a San Diego woman accused him of sexual assault during two sexual encounters.

Bauer’s ban is the longest of the 16 players suspended under the policy, and he will be the first to take his case to an arbitrator. That item is sold out now, but the site does have a $32.99 T-shirt in stock with this timely slogan: Bring Bauer Back. Bauer was investigated by the Pasadena Police Department after a woman accused him of assaulting her during sex in Pasadena, Calif., early last season. “In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy,” Bauer said in a statement. Some of his goals, Bauer has insisted, are designed to help the game thrive; if he were solely in it for himself, he has reasoned, why else would he be so public about his training methods? A third accusation was reported by The Post on Friday. He pitched his final game for them last June, and may not pitch again for a very long time. Bauer, 31, had been on administrative leave with pay since last July 2, and because he did not reach an agreement on a penalty, he was not given credit retroactively for time served.

We understand that Trevor has the right to appeal the Commissioner's decision. Bauer was placed on administrative leave last July 2 under the joint domestic violence and sexual assault policy of MLB and the players' association.

Major League Baseball handed out the longest suspension in the history of its domestic violence policy. Here's what it means for Bauer, the Dodgers and ...

In recent weeks, agents and executives polled on this were skeptical that a team would take a chance on Bauer even if he were eligible to pitch this season, given, at minimum, the public-relations storm that would follow. If an arbiter upholds MLB's suspension, Bauer will be 33 years old by the time he's eligible to pitch again, and he'll have gone almost three years without playing in the majors. Because he did not agree to the suspension, Bauer can file a grievance to be judged by an arbitrator, who is hired (and can be fired) in concert by the league and the players' union. The most recent suspension known to be fully overturned was Ryan Braun's positive performance-enhancing drug test, which was nullified because of a chain-of-custody issue. The standards in criminal and civil cases differ from those of a private business. The suspension begins Friday, which means -- given that postseason games do not count -- Bauer won't be eligible to return until the 19th game of the 2024 season.

The emergence of new accusations against Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer is the latest chapter in MLB's nearly year-long effort to gain control of a scandal ...

She also decided to tell her story publicly in The Post. She acknowledged that in some messages with Bauer that she no longer has access to, she may have referred favorably to being choked. She said that after sex, she often had an aching throat from being choked or pain in her collarbone caused by the strength of his arm. She said she then told him that she was okay with him choking her “to a certain point,” which was when she looked as though she was about to pass out. The Columbus woman claimed that at times when she regained consciousness, she found that Bauer was anally penetrating her without consent. She is in possession of a video, she said, that shows him choking her during sex as she struggled to escape. Nanasi said strangulation — which she said was the accurate term for the activity colloquially known as choking — is an act that can be consensual during sex. After he then allegedly choked her to the point of convulsions in January 2014, when they were in a Cleveland hotel after Tribe Fest, the team’s fan festival, she said he was apologetic in response to her anger that he had violated what they agreed upon. The woman said she was in an unhealthy mind-set at the time, including suffering from a severe eating disorder, which she now believes led her to rationalize Bauer’s alleged abuse during sex. In interviews with The Washington Post, the Columbus woman said she decided to share her story after Bauer denied similar allegations made by two other women and accused them of lying for potential financial gain. The Columbus woman provided a screenshot of what she says was her first text conversation with Bauer, upon meeting him on a dating app in April 2013. But she said any intimate messages she sent to Bauer did not excuse his alleged actions without her consent during sex.

Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer will appeal a two-year suspension to an arbitrator. He was accused by a woman of sexual assault in June.

Bauer has said that, when she left his home after each encounter, “She certainly did not look anything like the photos that were later attached to her family court declaration and circulated by her lawyers to the media.” For instance, the judge in the restraining order hearing ruled that “the only evidence of anything which happened while [the woman] was unconscious was having been hit on the butt,” despite her allegations of other injuries sustained while unconscious during the two encounters last spring. Bauer has not pitched for the Dodgers since June 28, the day before a San Diego woman accused him of sexual assault during two sexual encounters at his Pasadena home. Bauer’s representatives told the Post the new allegations were “defamatory and baseless.” The league could argue that a precedent was set in 2019 by the four-month suspension of San Francisco Giants President Larry Baer, whose wife fell to the ground after he reached for her cellphone during an argument. They declined to comment further “until the process is complete,” citing Bauer’s right to appeal. Of the 16 players suspended under baseball’s sexual assault and domestic violence policy, Bauer is the first not to agree to a negotiated settlement. His contract calls for him to be paid $32 million this year and $32 million next year. In 2012, after Ryan Braun had been suspended 50 games for testing positive for performance-enhancing substances, the suspension was thrown out via arbitration because testing protocols had not been followed. In statements announcing such suspensions, the league does not reveal the specific conduct that triggered the discipline, in accordance with the collectively bargained policy. Previous suspensions under the policy ranged from 15 to 162 games. “I am appealing this action and expect to prevail.”

The ruthlessness of the Dodgers has been masked by their willingness to spend. The Dodgers champion themselves as more than a sport team. This time, they paid, in reputation and in money. The Dodgers believed they were paying $85 million for about 60 regular-season starts by Bauer at his prime of his career — plus whatever he did in the postseason. They could afford players such as Kershaw, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, who don’t make them have to choose between character and ability. They also knew of how he defended Donald Trump, spread an antisemitic conspiracy theory, mocked transgender people and defended the Cleveland Indians’ logo. There were immediate signs of trouble. Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer will appeal a two-year suspension to an arbitrator. They knew of his online harassment campaign against a female college student. What’s uncommon is how he uses social media to attract the attention he craves. The most charitable interpretation at the time was that he felt he was being bullied into an apology; as someone who was bullied throughout his childhood, he resisted. While none of this was illegal, what Bauer represented was the opposite of what the Dodgers claim to be.

When the Los Angeles County district attorney's office decided not to file charges against Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer in February, it exonerated him ...

There remains the possibility of a settlement, though that seems unlikely given Bauer's strident denials and determination to fight any suspension. Rather than a wife or girlfriend, Bauer's alleged misconduct involves casual partners, all who consented to sexual acts with the pitcher. Many other cases fell apart when the players' partners opted not to cooperate with authorities or testify against the players. Left unsaid is the massive difference between a prosecutor believing they can prove charges beyond a reasonable doubt, and conduct that runs afoul of MLB's domestic violence policy. To the casual observer, then, Friday's news that MLB suspended him for two full seasons – which could keep him out of the league until 2024 – was startling. Torres brandished and pointed a gun at his wife in December 2017.
