, the Dodgers announced on Thursday that they had granted Trevor Bauer his unconditional release. Bauer is now a free agent and can sign with any of the other 29 clubs.
Bauer had previously had his 324-game suspension for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy reduced to 194 games, making him immediately eligible to pitch in the 2023 season. His new team would pay him the $720,000 minimum, while the Dodgers still owe him $22.5 million. Bauer, who will be 32 this month, has not pitched since June 2021 while on administrative leave before eventually receiving the suspension. It remains the longest suspension for domestic violence in MLB history.
MLB suspended Bauer in April for two full seasons after a nine-month investigation, which began when a San Diego woman filed a petition seeking a restraining order against him June 29, 2021. The woman said Bauer assaulted her during two encounters of rough sex that began consensually. She said he choked her until she lost consciousness, sodomized her and punched her hard enough that she sought treatment at a hospital.
The Los Angeles district attorney’s office decided in February 2022 not to file criminal charges against Bauer. Three months later MLB suspended him, and Bauer later appealed.
