The Dodgers cut pitcher Trevor Bauer over sexual abuse allegations, despite his reinstatement from MLB.
"The Dodgers organization believes that allegations of sexual assault or domestic violence should be thoroughly investigated, with due process given to the accused. From the beginning, we have fully cooperated with Major League Baseball's investigation and strictly followed the process stipulated under MLB's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.
Bauer signed with the Dodgers as a free agent ahead of the 2021 season on a three-year, $102.5 million contract with a player option after each year. He was suspended with pay in early July of that year, after news broke that a San Diego woman had been granted a restraining order against Bauer.
Schienman issued a ruling on December 22, shortening Bauer's suspension from the original 324-games to 194-games, reinstating Bauer immediately, but assigning a 50-game without pay stipend for the beginning of the 2023 season. The ruling meant that the Dodgers had until January 6, 2023 to make a decision on whether or not to release Bauer, or add him back on the 40-man roster. Because of the 50-game without pay ruling, the Dodgers would only be on the hook for $22 million of Bauer's initial $32 million salary for the 2023 season.Bauer released a statement of his own after the Dodgers announcement on Friday evening:
