The Dodgers take pride in being the heart of Los Angeles sports and Trevor Bauer may not be in the cards moving forward for this exact reason.
While MLB has reinstated Bauer, the press surrounding the former Cy Young award winner may be enough to keep him away from the Dodgers.
It’s something not all fans may see eye-to-eye about, especially for a Dodgers team in need of more pitching depth, but some baseball analysts believe Bauer being released by the team is set in stone with the Dodgers prioritizing their own branding over anything else.
