Trevor Bauer, the divisive pitcher, plans to rejoin the Major League Baseball in the upcoming season. Since July 2021, the former National League Cy Young Award winner has not made a pitch in the Major League Baseball since he became the focus of a sᴇxᴜᴀʟ assault probe.
Trevor Bauer’s life has changed significantly since being placed on administrative leave and subsequently obtaining a suspension from the Major League Baseball. Bauer relocated to Japan to continue playing professional baseball and to maintain his innocence in the face of the accusations made against him.
Now that the accuser and Bauer have reached an out-of-court settlement for their civil litigation, Bauer is trying to move past the allegations of sexual assault and possibly return to the spotlight. The divisive pitcher was just featured on the popular podcast PDB Podcast. According to host Patrick Bet-David, Bauer ought to have another shot in the Major League Baseball.
“I think MLB should give Trevor Bauer another shot. If you agree, retweet. – @patrickbetdavid
During the podcast, Patrick Bet-David passionately outlined his reasons for thinking the former starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers should be given another opportunity to pitch in Major League Baseball. Bet-David asserts that people learn from their mistakes and that redemption stories can be found in both life and baseball.
He went on to suggest that Bauer’s development and capacity for self-improvement might serve as an example for younger people.
“I think it would be a great example,” he remarked, citing Bauer’s experience as a motivational tale of atonement and growing past flaws.
It’s unclear if a team will take a chance on Trevor Bauer.
Regretfully for Bauer, no organization appears to be interested in giving the former All-Star a go. Despite being connected to a number of teams this offseason, such as the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees, there doesn’t seem to have been any progress made in the direction of a contract offer.
“Trevor Bauer @BauerOutage says he would like to pitch for the league minimum with incentives, meaning the team would not be at risk if he pitches like one of the league’s greatest SPs and would be compensated accordingly if not. Fantastic conversation on the @PBDsPodcast.” – @NYYUNDERGROUND
The former star of the Los Angeles Dodgers played in Japan during the previous season, demonstrating that his arm still had a lot of life left in it. In his brief tenure with the NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball), Bauer recorded an outstanding 10-4 record with 130 strikeouts in 130.2 innings pitched and a 2.76 ERA.
