Trevor Bauer suspended 2 years

[Montalban]

Regardless of whether it was criminal, MLB must know enough to say fuck this dirt bag, we don't want this guy wearing a major league jersey. I would assume he's done.

Guy always had a childish temper

 

[DJ]

He'll probably win an appeal since he wasn't even charged for it much less convicted.

This. They were allegations and not charged with anything.

And it's not because he pitched for my team. I'd feel the same way if he pitched for a rival.

 

[DJ]

So lemme get this straight:
Deshaun Watson is accused by 22 women of sexual harrassment/assault, he's not charged, then gets a 240 mil fully guaranteed contract..............but Bauer gets a 2 year SUSPENSION withOUT pay?!?!?!?!?!.........WTF?

Watson will face a suspension, just watch.

Watson will face a suspension, just watch.

It won't be anywhere near two years. Especially without criminal charges.

 

[DJ]

Ozuna wasn't suspended that long.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

I know and I call him out every time.

Yeah, that just seems like a waste of time. He's not going to change at this point. I have always found it easier to ignore him.

 

[DJ]

This might be why.....there was another woman, didn't know about this before.

"MLB, which has the autonomy to suspend players without a criminal conviction, also looked into at least one other incident of alleged sexual assault with a woman from Ohio."

MLB suspends Dodgers' Bauer for two seasons

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

MLB knows enough that the dogs wanted to stop paying him.

Simple as that.

 

[calsnowskier]

He’s definitely appealing

He will appeal, but the same person who handed out the sentence will rule in the appeal. He is fucked.

 

[calsnowskier]

What criminal offense was Pete Rose charged with? The morals clause in the standard MLB contract is purposely nebulous and covers things like this. I really doubt if he will win an appeal. He might get the suspension dropped to a year though.

He broke BASEBALL rules.

And he got his punishment through an agreement he made with baseball. Baseball did not hand down his suspension.

While I don’t disagree with this on the surface, it is two different sports.

 

[calsnowskier]

Yeah, getting Bauer off is a lot tougher.

You have a real stranglehold on the facts of this case.

But don’t beat yourself up for telling a meh joke…

 

[calsnowskier]

True. He wasn't

But is it right to beat on a women and r*pe her?

Weird shit, but there is actual document evidence that that is not the case in this situation. Evidence exists that she literally, specifically, in writing and verbally, asked him to do what he did.

Like I said…. Weird shit…

Wish Shoeless Joe could read this thread.



But, well, you know, illiteracy is a motherfucker.

 

[navamind]

German, Ozuna, Chapman, Jose Reyes and Urias got off with far lighter punishments.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

He is a troll. I don’t believe he believes the shit he says.

He can’t. It is too…


Him.

This.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Absurd

Never indicted and gets 2 years?

I will ask you the same question I asked earlier. What criminal offense was Pete Rose charged with?

 

[catman]

He broke BASEBALL rules.

And he got his punishment through an agreement he made with baseball. Baseball did not hand down his suspension.

And Trevor Bauer violated the morals clause in the standard baseball contract. Most of the Steroid guys weren't charged in criminal court.
And Pete was not allowed to play or manage again -- he was given a lifetime suspension.

 

[moxie]

MLB knows enough that the dogs wanted to stop paying him.

Simple as that.

how fucking low is that bar that those criminals are scared of the backlash? this pervert has to be epstein level for them to try to create this much distance.

He was not “given” a lifetime ban. He ACCEPTED a lifetime ban. It was a plea he reached with baseball.
