Trevor Bauer's appeal of his suspension for violating MLB's policy on sexual assault and domestic violence results in a reduction from 324 games to 194 ...

Bauer and his representatives long have pointed to the judge in the restraining order hearing saying that the woman had been “materially misleading” in her request for the order. The district attorney’s office said it had investigated Bauer on charges of “assault by means likely to cause great bodily harm, sodomy of a sleeping person and domestic violence.” When MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred imposed the suspension, Bauer said: “In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy.” The league put Bauer on investigative leave that week and suspended him last April, and in the interim two other [women told the Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/12/22/trevor-bauer-appeal-decision-dodgers/) of similar experiences with Bauer. However, courts generally are wary of interfering with collectively bargained policies and procedures; Bauer would have to show those policies and procedures were not followed. He pitched in 17 games in 2021 and has been on leave or suspension for the Dodgers’ last 243 regular-season games. Bauer immediately appealed, and an arbitration hearing akin to a trial began in May. However, the arbitrator is allowing him to play for those first 50 games, in part because of his cooperation in repeatedly agreeing to an investigative leave during which he missed the last half of the 2021 season. The team was unaware of any decision on the appeal until shortly before the ruling was announced. Under MLB rules, when a player is reinstated from the restricted list out of season, his team has 14 days to activate him. 6 to decide, although the remaining $22.5 million of his salary is guaranteed whether they activate him or release him. Had the suspension been upheld in full, Bauer would have lost $60 million.

MLB conducted a separate investigation of its own to determine if Bauer violated the league’s domestic violence policy. He had an opt-out in the deal following the 2022 season, but the deadline for him to exercise that opt-out has passed. On April 29, MLB suspended Bauer for two full seasons following the league’s investigation of domestic violence and sexual assault allegations made against him. In addition, the arbitrator docked Bauer’s salary for the first 50 games of the 2023 season (i.e., the period covering March 30, 2023 to May 23, 2023). The 194-game suspension is the longest handed down under the MLB-MLBPA Joint Domestic Violence Policy, which was enacted in 2015. LOS ANGELES -- Major League Baseball announced on Thursday that Trevor Bauer’s unpaid suspension for violating the MLB-MLBPA Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy has been reduced from 324 to 194 games by independent arbitrator Martin F.

Bauer, the Dodgers pitcher suspended after abuse allegations, is waging an intense, secretive battle with MLB and his accusers, records show.

In the call, she confronted Bauer about allegedly punching her in the head and vagina. “I would never purposefully set myself up for something like this, like, thinking, ‘Oh, if I get him to beat the s--- out of me, you know, and let him do whatever he wants, then I could do this,’ ” the woman said. But the woman, who described going “in and out of consciousness,” pushed back on his claim that everything was consensual. She shared with The Post a screenshot of a message she said was sent to her by her former manager at a bar. The detectives urged her to call Bauer that day in their presence. MLB eventually sent in a lawyer to sit in the same room as her, she said. And body-camera footage shows she volunteered the video to police detectives during her initial interview with them, explaining at the time that her smile in the footage was part of her “trauma response.” Her lawyer in the restraining order hearing, Lisa Helfend Meyer, did not respond to a request for comment on whether the video was turned over to Bauer’s lawyers during that proceeding. The Columbus woman said the experience caused her to break down in tears during her testimony.

When prosecutors then declined to charge Bauer, he posted a video to social media in which he called the woman a liar and denied striking her during sex, even though he had already acknowledged hitting her on a phone call recorded by detectives.

Bauer luego se convirtió en el primer jugador en apelar. Los Dodgers tienen 14 días para decidir si lo reincorporarán a su roster de 40 jugadores.

Además, el salario de los primeros 50 juegos de la temporada 2023 será descontado. “Después de una revisión exhaustiva de la evidencia disponible, el árbitro neutral ha decidido mantener una sanción de 194 partidos. Aunque la MLB considera que una suspensión más extensa era necesaria, la liga se apegará a la decisión de Steinman. El serpentinero de los Los Angeles Dodgers solo ha cumplido 144 partidos de suspensión, pero el árbitro considera que el tiempo que pasó en la lista restringida de la MLB durante la segunda parte de la temporada compensa la diferencia. Como parte de la decisión, el árbitro ha decidido reinstaurar a Bauer inmediatamente”, dice el comunicado con el que la MLB anunció la reducción de la suspensión.

Bauer has built a reputation as a difficult teammate, but he is also considered one of the most forward-thinking, analytically minded pitchers in the sport. District Court Judge James Selna allowed the San Diego woman to proceed with her lawsuit and dismissed Bauer's defamation suit against one of her former attorneys. The Dodgers canceled Bauer's scheduled bobblehead night and removed his merchandise from their stores shortly after MLB first placed him on administrative leave in the summer of 2021, but they have barely commented on his situation publicly. The woman alleged that he choked her unconscious on multiple occasions, repeatedly scratched and punched her throughout her body, sodomized her without consent and left her with injuries that warranted a trip to the emergency room after rough sex. judge denied the San Diego woman a permanent restraining order, rejected charges of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, sodomy of an unconscious person and domestic violence. Bauer then became the first player to appeal, triggering a prolonged process in which a three-person panel -- consisting of one rep from MLB, another from the MLBPA and Scheinman, appointed from both parties -- reviews findings and interviews witnesses to determine whether to uphold, reduce or throw out a suspension. The San Diego woman testified three separate times, a source with knowledge of the situation said. Two other women from Ohio made similar assault allegations to The Washington Post, which Bauer and his legal team have also disputed. The Dodgers countered with only a short statement that read: "We have just been informed of the arbitrator's ruling and will comment as soon as practical." Bauer disputed her allegations and remains in litigation with the woman, whom ESPN has chosen not to name. Bauer looks forward to his return to the field, where his goal remains to help his team win a World Series." Bauer will be docked pay through the first 50 games of the 2023 season but will be officially reinstated on Friday.

Los Angeles has had months to prepare for the decision of whether to cut the pitcher or continue rostering him.

Months to think about what it would mean to have Bauer in uniform, taking the mound every five days, functioning as a representative of the club. The portion of his pay to be docked is about $9.5 million—leaving the Dodgers responsible for roughly $22.5 million. If the arbitrator’s decision seemed sudden—coming months into the process in the days immediately before Christmas—the team has had months to consider the questions that it raises. This front office is famously one of the sharpest in the sport. There may be some who see the arbitrator’s decision to reduce the suspension for immediate reinstatement as a declaration of innocence. It marks the end of a messy, complicated process that has now lasted a year and a half. And the whole time, the Dodgers have known it could end with a decision like this one. [The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/04/29/trevor-bauer-abuse-accusations/)—and the league ultimately handed down Bauer’s suspension in April 2022. The court ultimately found that the woman’s claims were “materially misleading,” and Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman said the only evidence of anything happening while the woman was unconscious was from being “hit on the butt.” In February the L.A. But they have had months to contemplate what matters to them, and what price they might place on those principles, and there is not much to gain by waiting. Bauer was placed on administrative leave by MLB in July 2021, when a woman filed a petition requesting a restraining order after a pair of sexual encounters that she claimed began as consensual but ended in assault. But the Dodgers shouldn’t need it: They should know where they stand here.

Now they must pay him, regardless of whether he is on the roster or released. Do they want to sign a player or players and go over the MLB Luxury Tax? The Dodgers are an iconic franchise. Drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 1st round of the 2011 Draft, the Diamondbacks traded Bauer as part of a three-team deal in 2012. The backlash to the Browns has been, and continues to be significant. The accusations of sexual misconduct cannot be ignored. Pitching coaches and managers have engaged in differences of opinion with Bauer throughout his career. Bauer pitched with Cleveland until he was once again part of a July 2019, three-team trade. A court found there was no supporting evidence that Bauer caused the woman harm, according to Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman. Through her attorney, the woman claimed to have met Bauer on April 21, 2020.
