MLB found something bad, and they told him to serve his time and be quiet or it will all come out.

He allegedly choked a chick out, who then woke up to him ass fucking her.

Not surprised the moron contingent of CP doesn’t get the suspension.

Because that’s how consent works. If you sign up for one thing, you sign up for the whole ride:

Fuck off.

Then she went out the next day with him. He got text messages of her telling her friends she about to get a huge pay day.

Just a reminder of the issues going on in LA. Maybe there's more to the Bauer story. Or maybe this is also a make up call for their institutional failure on these issues in the past. Or maybe it's both.

I chose my words carefully.

It’s quite clear this is the answer.

Police literally walked in on Marcell Ozuna strangling his wife and he didn’t even miss a full year. They’re not suspending a dude of Bauer’s caliber for 2 years if there’s not something serious going on.

Sounds like a wild night in Belize.

What's interesting is how MLB can get away with keeping important information secret from the law.

That's kind of the point of consent.

Three factors worked against Bauer here, and none of them involve his alleged 'crime' (kinky sex with an extortionist).

#1 This allows the Dodgers to get out of the contract without having to pay anything. That's the biggest factor. The Dodgers didn't want to keep Bauer and they're the big spender of the entire league.

#2 Additionally, Manfred had a really good baseball reporter fired because he wrote very mildly critical things about Manfred (Ken Rosenthal). Bauer has been outspoken in his criticism of Manfred and MLB so it doesn't surprise me they went for the blackball card. Just a spite move.

#3 Racism also seems to have played a factor, as there are many examples of diverse domestic violence offenders across baseball that have had very light punishments in comparison (Ozuna got what, 20 games)? And they legit did bad things (2 police witnessed Ozuna beat his wife), whereas Bauer committed no crime at all.
