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.
And he’s sucked in Japan the last two years. [Reply]

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.
Hell, may not even be about the money for him, more the principle of just publicly clearing his name while dragging Manfred and the MLB. He seems like the type of guy that would be spiteful enough to air out dirty laundry even if it is mutually assured destruction. [Reply]

Oh don't worry according to a lot of people he's still a piece of shit so fuck him...
Jesus Christ. I know South Park was being satirical in that episode where PC principal had him and his hookup sign consent forms before a one night stand, but athletes and people of status might be at the point where their attorneys advise for it. [Reply]
It's so fucked. Dude got blacklisted and his name drug through the mud, because "how dare anyone not 100% believe any woman that says they were sexually assaulted." I mean you're not even allowed to be like "I'll wait to see what evidence comes out." Just look in this thread. [Reply]
Maybe I will eat my words on this, but I also think the Wander Franco case is fucked up based on the flimsy evidence posted online about him. That case totally looks like a cash shakedown, too. [Reply]

Franco apparently has multiple under age accusations is where that kinda falls apart.
Bauers biggest crime is in general people don't like him. So when it happened no one backed him up, shit his Dodger teammates wanted him gone.
Commissioner grinded the ax and the Dodgers were glad to be rid of him. [Reply]
