The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced they have officially parted ways with pitcher Trevor Bauer after being reinstated. Bauer is a former Cy Young award recipient who signed a three-year $102 million deal with the Dodgers.
Bauer was suspended in 2021 for 324 games after violating the Major League Baseball’s (MLB) domestic violence policy. Bauer’s suspension was later reduced to 194 Dec. 22, 2022, by an independent arbitrator, Martin Scheinman. According to an Associated Press article, Scheinman affirmed Bauer violated the MLB’s policy and deducted his pay for the first 50 games of the 2023 baseball season, because Bauer was on paid administrative leave.
