What did do to be suspended
Trevor Bauer will be suspended for two full seasons following sexual assault allegations, totaling 324 games.
The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher was placed on administrative leave on July 2, 2021, following a sexual assault allegation.
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office decided not to proceed with criminal charges in February, but Major League Baseball decided to suspend the pitcher for violating the MLB United Domestic Violence, Sexual Harassment and Child Abuse Policy.
Bauer is appealing the two-year unpaid suspension on Twitter, saying, “In the strongest possible terms, I deny any violation of the league’s domestic violence and sexual harassment policy. I am appealing this action and expect I hope it will be successful.”
According to Bob Nightingale, this is the first domestic violence suspension appealing against the 16 players who have been investigated. All 16 other athletes who have been suspended under baseball’s sexual assault and domestic violence policy have agreed to negotiate a settlement.
Why is suspended
MLB has suspended Trevor Bauer for two seasons after completing an investigation into sexual assault allegations against the star Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday.
In a statement, the league said Bauer violated its combined domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy and would not be paid during the suspension, which amounts to 324 games. In 2021, Bauer signed a three-year deal with the Dodgers worth $102 million.
Bauer, 31, has been on administrative leave since July 2021, amid a criminal investigation into claims that he sexually assaulted a woman in brutal incidents.
The 2020 Cy Young Award winner has denied the allegations. In February, the LA District Attorney’s Office said it would not criminally charge the MLB pitcher.
In a Twitter post on Friday, Bauer said he plans to appeal MLB’s decision.
