Trevor Bauer pitched last season in Japan. He’ll start this season pitching in Mexico.
With the Major League Baseball season starting Wednesday and none of the 30 MLB clubs extending him a contract offer, Bauer announced on social media Monday he would pitch in six games with the Diablos Rojos of the Mexican League, including an exhibition game Sunday in Mexico against the New York Yankees.
Bauer, the former Dodgers pitcher, served the longest suspension ever levied for violating the MLB policy on domestic violence and sexual assault. He was reinstated to MLB before the 2023 season, but no MLB team signed him, and he pitched for the Yokohama BayStars in Japan.
