So why was he suspended? It sounds like the whole initial thing was thrown out years ago.

He questioned Manfred for alot of things..didn't like him and MLB like NFL can suspend for player conduct without any conviction.

Basically Manfred had an ax to grind and used it.

Congrats on having sex!

Also, I can’t imagine just taking a woman at her word for something like this.

I'd go after everyone with a wrongful termination (suspension) lawsuit, including MLB/Manfred & the Dodgers
[Reply]

Good luck the MLB like the NFL has a ton of wiggle room with player conduct suspensions.
[Reply]

He's got $60MM reasons to do so (I think that's what he lost?)
[Reply]

Yeah, MLB may just want to pay that and make him go the fuck away. Bauer is not one I'd be wanting to go against publicly.

It was only $37.5 million. And what were the Dodgers supposed to do? Pay him to sit out his suspension?
[Reply]

I get their play, but it was pretty obvious it was a targeted suspension. It also destroyed his career because if anyone signs him people will lose their minds.
[Reply]

Was not suspending him not an option?
[Reply]

Well no cause Manfred holds grudges, he basically got Bauer blackballed and it's what he wanted.
[Reply]

Sure thing….because the Dodgers chose to suspend him. They cut him because of the suspension and the accusations against him. It’s not like they had the information he just released.
[Reply]

What would the Dodgers have to do with that?
[Reply]

I believe he still got paid.

At this point he's probably best served to keep his head down. Shit, the pitching market is AWFUL. He should see if there's a 1-year deal to be had out there somewhere.

Dude exited the game as possibly the best RHP out there.

EDIT:

Looks like he got docked for almost all of his 2022 salary and about 1/3 of his 2023 pay. So he got about $64 million of the $102 million due on his deal.

Hmm....$40 million ain't asswipe money. But as has been noted, the player conduct shit is so broad. That's a tough mountain to climb.
