Bauer hasn't pitched since last June, when he was placed on leave following sexual assault allegations.

He won eight of his first 17 starts with the Dodgers but in June was accused by a San Diego woman of assault during two sexual encounters; Bauer countered that their interactions were "wholly consensual." Bauer invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during the hearing. Therefore, we will not comment further until the process is complete."

Trevor Bauer domestic violence suspension: MLB hands Dodgers ... (CBS sports.com)

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.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Trevor Bauer suspended for two seasons (ESPN)

Trevor Bauer is appealing the suspension, which would encompass the rest of 2022, all of 2023 and some of the 2024 season.

The Pasadena Police Department concluded its investigation of Bauer's incident with the San Diego woman on Aug. 27, sending the case to the L.A. County District Attorney's Office, which spent the next five months reviewing the case before declaring on Feb. 8 that it would not pursue criminal charges. But she set limits without considering all the consequences, and respondent did not exceed limits that the petitioner set." The prior suspensions -- not counting that of former reliever Felipe Vazquez, who is serving a jail sentence for sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl -- have ranged from 15 to 162 games and were the result of negotiated settlements in which players waived their right to appeal. 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. Five days later, the Dodgers canceled Bauer's scheduled bobblehead night and removed his merchandise from its stores, stating that the team "did not feel it was appropriate while investigations continue." Days before the start of that hearing, The Washington Post published a story about a second woman, from Ohio, who sought a temporary restraining order against Bauer in June 2020 and also accused him of assault. The Post story included photographs showing injuries that were allegedly caused by Bauer, as well as threatening messages, including one in which Bauer allegedly wrote: "I don't feel like spending time in jail for killing someone. Bauer's suspension, if it holds through the appeal process, would last until the 19th game of the 2024 season, by which point his three-year contract with the Dodgers will have expired. Bauer joined the Dodgers on a three-year, $102 million contract in February 2021, on the heels of winning the National League Cy Young Award during the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season. Bauer last pitched on June 28 of last year. "I am appealing this action and expect to prevail. "Today we were informed that MLB has concluded its investigation into allegations that have been made against Trevor Bauer, and the Commissioner has issued his decision regarding discipline.

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.

Trevor Bauer suspended 324 games over sexual assault allegations (Los Angeles Times)

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.”

MLB suspends Dodgers' Trevor Bauer for two years for violating ... (The Washington Post)

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.

The suspension, which goes into effect on Friday, followed "an extensive investigation by MLB's Department of Investigations," the league said.

Bauer's agent did not deny the relationship between the woman and the pitcher but told the Post that Bauer denies her "false and defamatory" allegations. The woman and her lawyer, Joe Tacopina, told the Post that she shared her allegations against Bauer with MLB. The league declined to comment on the story. On Monday, Bauer announced he is suing the woman who accused him of sexual assault last summer, saying that she and one of her attorneys made "false and malicious statements about him, and generated a media blitz based on her lies."

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.

Roberts alluded to that when he said, “I don’t think everything is finalized.” The Dodgers notched a franchise-record 106 wins and finished a game behind rival San Francisco in the NL West. They advanced to the National League Championship Series, losing in six games to the eventual World Series champion Atlanta Braves. Bauer repeatedly has said that everything that happened between the two was consensual. “She made accusations but no charges were filed,” said Stephanie Meraz, who attended Friday’s game. A San Diego woman, whom the pitcher had met through social media, alleged Bauer beat and sexually abused her earlier in 2021. “That’s kind of where our head is at.” When it comes to baseball, Bauer is confrontational, too. Public reaction at the time was mixed, not because of Bauer’s performance on the field, but his behavior off it. “We came away from it feeling good about it,” Friedman said at the time. He was born in North Hollywood, attended high school in Santa Clarita and played at UCLA. By that time, his contract with the team will have expired. She later sought but was denied a restraining order.

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.

Opinion | Two-year suspension isn't the end of the Trevor Bauer ... (Toronto Star)

If Bauer wins his appeal of a suspension under MLB's domestic violence policy, other players might not be so quick to accept punishment.

It’s logical to assume MLB lowered the number of games to avoid a hearing. The only thing a win accomplishes would be guaranteeing what he’s owed from the Dodgers and encouraging other accusers to follow his approach. “In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy,” Bauer’s statement read. On paper, MLB appears to have one of the strictest domestic violence policies in professional sports. An Ohio woman made similar claims to police in 2020, and Friday evening the Washington Post outlined details of a third woman who recently came forward to tell her story to MLB regarding incidents dating as far back as 2013. The penalty went into effect immediately and Bauer is not eligible to return until April of 2024.

Everything you need to know about Trevor Bauer's suspension ... (USA TODAY)

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.

Trevor Bauer Receives Record 324-Game Ban From Major League ... (Forbes)

Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred ruled that Bauer violated the Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.

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. Bauer called the Washington Post report “salacious,” and said the Ohio woman was trying to extort him. The Dodgers released a statement Friday that read in part: “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. If Bauer is unsuccessful in his appeal, he would lose the remainder of the money in his Dodgers’ contract — about $60 million. Bauer did not testify during that hearing, and Gould-Saltman said in her ruling that the woman’s original declaration was “materially misleading.” A Washington Post report that was published around the same time said an Ohio woman sought a temporary order of protection against Bauer in 2020 “after repeated threats from” him. If that were to happen, and the ban ended while he was still under contract with the Dodgers, he would be paid from the end of the suspension until the duration of the deal. As it stands now, the 324-game ban would conclude during the 2024 season, when Bauer would no longer be under contract with the Dodgers. “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. The report said the woman voluntarily dismissed the petition for the protective order in July 2020. Starting July 2, 2021, Bauer was placed on paid administrative leave, a non-disciplinary designation, and the leave was extended multiple times throughout the 2021 season. The decision by commissioner Rob Manfred came after MLB concluded its investigation into sexual assault allegations made against Bauer last year by a San Diego woman.
