    The piece I read just mentioned that if he gets close to his 2021 numbers this year, he will likely fetch a monster contract next offseason, and we're unlikely to take that on. No idea how he views playing in LA at this point.

    Hope we call the A's/Reds about starting pitching

    @RichEisenShow
    #Dodgers manager Dave Roberts just told us he plans to NOT have Trevor Bauer for the foreseeable future, if ever again. Added Clayton Kershaw will be ready for his first start in the rotation, wherever that might be. #MLB

    Do you read a legality aspect in this or that Davey Wokerts just doesn't want a ne'er do well to manage ?
    And if he's exonerated, why can't he come back...plenty of guys like sex in unique ways- look at huh?- and may I submit Mr. David Cone ?

    I think the expectation is for a MLB suspension, which I really don't get. Not sure what the crime was at this point.

    I think they prefer to call them service stations.
    Does AMPM need an inflatable to draw in customers?

    The Bauer situation is weird.
    Like you said, he was exonerated.
    If they don't want him on the team because he's a degenerate, fine...
    ...but they should expect to pay his full contract, imo.

    Compare the MLB to the NFL and Bauer would be welcomed with open arms in the NFL.
    Deshaun Watson currently has teams fighting left and right for him.

    If backlash from others is what scares the Dodgers away from Bauer, I think that's silly. We are already the most hated team in the sport because of the way we spend. I thought Bauer was a douchebag long before any of this stuff but if he wasn't found guilty and can help us win, fuck it.

    Who knows what players on the team think of Bauer. I'm guessing that'd be the biggest concern with bringing him back because I am sure there are guys that detest him.

    We in the go along to get along gang times.
    Everyone has to be on the acceptable side.
    Anyone else has to be cancelled.
    Fuck that.
    Just cancel yourself and wage guerrilla warfare against the pussies.

    It's true...I'm really pro FO right now, what with this FF signing...but they owe it to the fans to make some kind of statement on Bauer...some clarification, because right now it's as clear as mud.
    And with the rotation in the shape it's in, let's call a spade a spade, we could use him.
    Big time.

    That Kris Bryant signing by Colorado is one of the most confusing moves ever. The Rockies have been in sell mode for 2 seasons and punted away Arenado for pennies only to hand out a huge contract to Bryant? The weed in Colorado must be good as hell....they should share

    Right on cue...

    @JonHeyman
    According to a league source, MLB and the MLBPA have agreed to extend Trevor Bauer’s Administrative Leave through Saturday, April 16

    Yeah, I'm not sure it's the team that's keeping him from playing, even though he might not be fully embraced in the clubhouse. But I wonder on what grounds MLB and MLBPA can keep him sidelined? He may have his perversions, but there was no crime committed. Does the league constitution have guidelines on acceptable sexual acts?

    Bauer just touched on this tweet and said it was taken way out of context.
    Here's what Dave really said:

    Rich: "I noticed one name that didn't get mentioned by you right there, and it's Trevor Bauer. What can you tell me about him?"

    Dave: "Yeah, I really can't and it's not just trying to... I don't have
    the information so I think, I guess the line is I'm just going to kind of focus on the guys that are in camp. And until I know more and until he's with us, I just can't comment because I just don't know enough information but I'm sure as time goes on, you know, we'll know more."

    Rich: "Ok, so right now you're planning to start 2022 and go for however long without Trevor Bauer, right?"

    Dave: "Absolutely, yep. Yes sir."

    And in reply to a troll saying Dodgers teammates don't want him back...

    @BauerOutage
    I have plenty of texts that disagree with you and your fake news narrative

    But you have to remember he's going to be coming off of shoulder surgery.
