Trevor Bauer agrees to deal with Yokohama Baystars after release by Dodgers

After a year-plus suspension and subsequent release from the Los Angeles Dodgers, it was unknown if Trevor Bauer would find a team willing to take him on despite accusations of sexual assault from three women.

After every MLB team answered "no," the Yokohama DeNA Baystars just emphatically answered "yes."

Bauer has agreed to a one-year deal with the Baystars of Japan's Nippon Professional League, according to Yuki Yamada of Sankei Sports. The contract is reportedly worth $4 million plus incentives if he passes a physical. The Dodgers, who officially released Bauer on Jan. 12, are responsible for paying the remainder of his $22.
