... if the league suspends Bauer for what the law clearly had insufficient evidence to prosecute him for, that is an act deserving of boycott at our end & lawsuit at Bauer's. If MLB thinks itself the moral high ground, they have explaining to do. For decades, they turned a blind eye to steroids and growth hormone and their players bad behavior. NOW they care? I'm dubious about it myself. The massive legal splashback that Bauer has here, the retribution he could exact against baseball could be on par with what Marvin Miller did back in the seventies when he broke the back of ownership via CBAs & free agency development with the MLBPA. Bauer is many unpleasant things but I would not underestimate his intelligence. The guy has a certain angle to him that makes it easy to hate him but do not take him lightly. He already has enough of a war chest that he could take this as far as he likes. He is not a billionaire, but he's got millions, and there are more than enough big time attorneys out there that would gladly take on his case and get him a fat payout. This whole thing is bullshit anyway. Bauer is a perv but it's pretty obvious he didn't do anything illegal. The chick is a starfucker who tried to set the guy up and failed miserably. A decent investigator will be able to find the guy she hired to beat the piss out of her to make it look like Bauer did it. I will bet they already have that info as a matter of fact. The whole thing just stinks. I wish we didn't know anything about it. There's enough cases of real rape and abuse going on out there; now this one case is just a couple of S&M freaks decide to really play hard and somebody sees it as an opportunity to make money, it's just a waste of all of our time. If MLB goes after Bauer, I hope he hires the latest Johnnie Cochran to absolutely destroy the league and the Dodgers and the whole system from the top down. It is high time that pro sports gets humbled at some point. They think they're progressive saints and above the law because they put #BLM on their webpage & have the players issue a soundbite. They pretend that they care about the law and civil rights, but they don't give a shit. They're billionaires and they want to stay that way, and they want us to think that they're all good people. But they lie. They lie and they are charlatans and I hope that this whole thing comes back to bite them in the ass.
bauer files lawsuit against the woman who accused him of sexual assault https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...files-lawsuit-vs-woman-accused-sexual-assault
His lawyer is a powerful woman. And you're calling her dog shit? I've had it with the constant sexist, racist and homophobic rhetoric on this forum. This has become a forum for angry white land owning men and I'm sick of it. If rube doesn't hire a more diverse team of mods (Irish need not apply, as he's the most homophobic of all) to crack down on this, then I'm out. Dodger baseball should be about inclusion. If that means Billy J King making love to Cookie Magic in foul territory, you better like it. Because tolerance is here to stay. Sorry not sorry you unvaxed bigot.
bauer suspended 2 yrs manfred/mlb are kidding themselves if they think this shit is over https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/33827168/los-angeles-dodgers-trevor-bauer-suspended-two-seasons
Wow. He should've just killed some pitbulls. At least he could've rolled with Michael Vick for awhile. Well .... Nice knowing you, due process and equal justice under the law. Time of Death .... Jan 20, 2021 ....
They've sided with the SJW who want Bauer gone. Now ... He's gone. LA won't have to pay him now and they can pretend to give a shit about women and queers and trannies and hermaphrodites and furries and left-handed, one-legged NAMBLA lobbyists and bears, oh my. Fuck MLB, and all of these muckraking cocksucking leftist cancel culture fascists. Hitler and Goebbels are heroes and sweethearts compared to these diabolical pricks.
Don't agree with the suspension but this is ultimately a good thing for the Dodgers imo Free of 62 million dollars for a pitcher that was trending downwards after the crackdown on doctoring baseballs. Baseball aside, it's complete fucking bullshit but I am not surprised by it. Bauer never stood a chance after being so openly against Manfred and many things in baseball. His politics certainly didn't help either
I don't think 2-years will stand. It's MLB's cynical attempt to sound like they "care" all the while they won't put up a fight when the player's association inevitably appeal. MLB can then try to make the player's association look bad. Whatever. Anyway, if there is anything to be learned here it's that you really really need to trust your partner when you're into the kinky stuff.
My only assumption here is that MLB's investigation uncovered something that is not public. Otherwise, what's the crime for this record setting penalty, let alone any suspension? I agree with jpldodgers that this is probably a good thing for the Dodgers, but it doesn't seem just for Bauer - not that I'm going to lose any sleep worrying on his account. .
