When the Los Angeles Dodgers were made aware of sexual assault allegations against Trevor Bauer, they issued a statement that deferred to Major League Baseball and didn’t take any disciplinary action themselves.
The Dodgers were prohibited from such due to MLB launching an investigation, and after multiple days of Bauer remaining with the team, he was placed on seven-day administrative leave. Putting Bauer on the restricted list did not require MLB to gain approval from the Players Association, but extending it beyond that has.
Bauer not only didn’t exercise his right to appeal the initial administrative leave, but he and the MLBPA have cooperated with the league in extending it.
