The Dodgers cut ties with Trevor Bauer two weeks after the pitcher was reinstated from his suspension, which followed allegations of sexual assault.

[Cincinnati Reds](/mlb/team/_/name/cin/cincinnati-reds) during the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season. But Bauer's presence loomed in the ensuing offseason, evident in the Dodgers' notable inactivity.

Scheinman essentially gave Bauer credit for time served while on paid administrative leave throughout the second half of the 2021 season and reinstated him immediately, leaving the rest in the Dodgers' hands. But [two other women](/mlb/story/_/id/33828430/third-woman-accuses-los-angeles-dodgers-trevor-bauer-sexual-assault-says-willing-testify-appeal-hearing) made [similar allegations](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/04/29/trevor-bauer-abuse-accusations/) to [The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/08/14/trevor-bauer-ohio-protection-order/). "Following two weeks of conversations around my return to the organization, I sat down with Dodgers leadership in Arizona yesterday who told me that they wanted me to return and pitch for the team this year. I wish the players all the best and look forward to competing elsewhere." The team's principal decision makers then met with Bauer in Arizona on Thursday, in what amounted to their first face-to-face interaction in 18 months. Over this last week, members of the front office reached out to players in an effort to gauge their interest in Bauer returning, sources said. The ruling triggered a 14-day window for the Dodgers to decide whether to add him to their 40-man roster. Bauer's actions warranted the longest ever active player suspension in our sport for violations of this policy.

Dodgers designate Trevor Bauer for assignment (Sportsnet.ca)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers are cutting ties with pitcher Trevor Bauer, whose unprecedented 324-game suspension over sexual misconduct ...

The judge found that Bauer honored the woman’s boundaries when the woman set them, and could not have known about those he violated because she didn’t express them clearly. Bauer joined his hometown Dodgers before the 2021 season on a $102 million, three-year contract. Bauer’s actions warranted the longest ever active player suspension in our sport for violations of this policy,” the Dodgers said. Bauer has maintained he did nothing wrong, saying that everything that happened between him and the woman was consensual. The team has rarely commented on the divisive case since Bauer was put on paid administrative leave in July 2021. A person familiar with the situation said Friday the 31-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment, which means the Dodgers have seven days to pull off an unlikely trade or just release him.

Dodgers DFA Trevor Bauer: What LA's decision means for the ... (Sporting News)

Bauer was recently reinstated from a record suspension, but he will not return to the Dodgers for the 2023 season.

I wish the players all the best and look forward to competing elsewhere," Bauer said in his statement. The Dodgers would be on the hook for $22.5 million minus what Bauer's new team pays him. [Nightengale](https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1611087158122799104) previously reported that the Dodgers would explore trading Bauer before Friday's deadline but would release the pitcher if no club showed interest. Scheinman reduced the suspension to 194 games and said Bauer was eligible to be reinstated immediately. The other 29 MLB teams will then have a chance to claim him off waivers. [pic.twitter.com/6OkRb9qTso] [January 7, 2023] [Two Dodgers officials told USA Today's Bob Nightengale](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2023/01/06/dodgers-decision-part-ways-trevor-bauer/11004427002/) that the organization never conveyed any sentiments to Bauer that the team had interest in bringing him back. Bauer appealed the ban, and on Dec. 12, LA will need to place Bauer on unconditional release waivers. It was the longest suspension in MLB history for violations of the league's domestic violence and sexual assault policy. He has sued the San Diego woman and her attorney, as well as multiple media outlets, for defamation. Bauer was suspended after being accused of sexual assault by a San Diego woman who said he performed multiple sexual acts on her without her consent. From the beginning, we have fully cooperated with Major League Baseball's investigation and strictly followed the process stipulated under MLB's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.

Les Dodgers tranchent dans le dossier Trevor Bauer - TVA Sports (TVA Sports)

Sa suspension pour des allégations de violence conjugale a pris fin récemment.

Bauer méritait la plus longue suspension pour un joueur actif de notre sport pour avoir violé ses règles», ont expliqué les Dodgers par voie de communiqué. Bauer n’avait disputé que 17 matchs avec les Dodgers, étant dans la première année d’un contrat monstre de trois saisons qui devait lui rapporter 103 millions $. Le vétéran de 10 saisons était passé devant les tribunaux pour répondre à la dénonciation d’une femme de San Diego, qui l’accusait de l’avoir étranglée jusqu’à la perte de connaissance, de l’avoir frappée et d’avoir entrepris un coït anal sans son consentement.

Rosenthal: Dodgers' decision to cut ties with Trevor Bauer shouldn't ... (The Athletic)

All professional sports franchises make compromises, but some are so important that they should not require much thought.

The [Cubs](https://theathletic.com/mlb/team/cubs/) acquired him from the Yankees near the trade deadline, then went on to defeat the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series and win their first World Series since 1908 with Chapman playing a prominent role. [Yankees](https://theathletic.com/mlb/team/yankees/) acquired Chapman later that month amid the same uncertainty. [Reds](https://theathletic.com/mlb/team/reds/) in Dec. Do the Cubs and many of their fans care that a pitcher coming off a suspension for domestic violence was part of their otherwise feel-good story? [team initially said](https://theathletic.com/2685481/2021/07/01/rosenthal-mlb-cannot-allow-trevor-bauer-to-pitch-on-sunday/) he would make his next start, deferring to the league, which then placed him on administrative leave. I am committed to being better on social media, being better on the field, being better in the clubhouse, being better in life in general.” But for months, the Dodgers knew a decision on Bauer was coming. Now, obviously, time will tell but I feel like he’s going to be a tremendous add, not just on the field, but in the clubhouse and the community.” [Bauer, meanwhile, issued his own statement](https://twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1611525205008207872) saying the Dodgers’ leadership “told me that they wanted me to return and pitch for the team this year.” If that is true — and a Dodgers official said it was not — the Dodgers’ desire to keep Bauer might have hinged on him agreeing to several conditions he perhaps refused to meet. The Dodgers signed him to a three-year, $102 million free-agent contract in Feb. The Dodgers would owe Bauer the rest of the $22.5 million he is due, potentially paying him to beat them for both the division title and National League pennant. [Dodgers issued a statement](https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1611517010554523649) announcing their decision on Bauer, but still have yet to say they will not tolerate the behavior that prompted his suspension.

Les Dodgers larguent Trevor Bauer (RDS)

L'association entre le lanceur Trevor Bauer et les Dodgers de Los Angeles est terminée. L'équipe a décidé de le désigner pour assignation.

Bauer a remporté le Cy Young de la Nationale en 2020, avec Cincinnati. « Bien que je sois déçu par la décision de l'organisation aujourd'hui, j'apprécie le soutien que j'ai reçu du vestiaire des Dodgers. Je souhaite le meilleur aux joueurs et j'ai hâte de reprendre l'action ailleurs. L'arbitre a maintenu une suspension de 194 matchs, tout en réintégrant Bauer de façon immédiate. Il pourra s'entendre avec une autre organisation une fois qu'il sera libéré ou si jamais L.A. Chaque rencontre s'est terminée par une nuit dans sa maison de Pasadena, a-t-il déclaré.

Letters: The Dodgers' $22-million decision to cut Trevor Bauer (Los Angeles Times)

L.A. Times readers are not surprised by the Dodgers' decision to cut ties with pitcher Trevor Bauer or USC's inability to beat Tulane in a bowl game.

[displays a total lack of knowledge](https://www.latimes.com/sports/lakers/story/2022-12-29/plaschke-lebron-james-hints-wants-leave-lakers-should-let-him) regarding the business of pro basketball. The Chargers put up 31 on a beat-up Rams team, with no Aaron Donald, that also ran all over them. The Chargers beat the Rams. Additional rules such as targeting are added but players are placing their lives on the line with each game and nothing can compensate them for that. The NFL is finally attempting to deal with the dementia that occurs from countless concussions that take place during a game when proof has been present for years. Compared with other results of the two CFP semifinals and major bowl games, the Trojans’ defense was very similar to the winners: Georgia gave up 41 points, TCU 45, Notre Dame 38 and Arkansas 53, an average of 44.25; each team won by one score, averaging 46.5. But, with a quarterback such as Caleb Williams, who pulls touchdowns out of hats at will, the poor defense would not have prevented victories in these games (or, at least, two of them). It always starts with USC doing well and taking a lead but then the “trigger” kicks in and Riley starts playing to lose. Bill, you can write whatever you want about the Dodgers this upcoming season. This time he is right on Trevor Bauer and the absolutely correct decision by the Dodgers to cut all ties with him. :: The Dodgers ignored every warning sign of who the toxic Trevor Bauer truly was when they swooped in with a massive contract, but now are being hailed as heroes for paying $22.5 million to let him go?
