Honestly cannot understand why Trevor Bauer has not been

[Stlcardsblues]

Given a chance to return to MLB.I know here we go again, but what is their reason to keep him out he was convicted of nothing.The yankees had a no beard policy, so you can't play baseball if you have a beard, ya true if you were going to play for the yankees.So basically mlb teams can make up rules to keep players out,So what rule did he break?

This is a dead horse and I don’t understand why some people are
Too dumb to understand there is a difference between MLB conspiring to keep him out of baseball and no team wanting to take on the baggage and headache of taking him on because with him it’s not a matter of if he is going to do something dumb and cause problems for the team but when and how bad. Hes caused problems and been a lightning rod for controversy every where hes been at a certain point teams just aren’t going to take on a guy they know will cause problems

I have never been a Bauer fan, but at this point it goes deeper than teams not wanting to deal with baggage. Plenty of players who can perform but have real negative baggage get additional chances.

No it doesn’t go deeper that’s just a wild conspiracy people love to believe because wild conspiracy theories are fun to believe. Sure zero evidence and 30 teams aren’t going to risk losing millions of dollars to conspire with manfred who would be risking his job just to keep Trevor freaking Bauer out of MLB that’s just absurdly dumb even for a conspiracy theoryk. It’s easy for non owners and non GMs to sit back and say sure his managers and most of teammates have always hated him and sure he’s always been lightning rod for controversies and caused problems every where hes ever went why not sign him but people that actually do those jobs have to take that into consideration

Maybe ask yourself why after being out of mlb due to allegations, bauer burned out his bridges in the japan league after just one year and had to go to mexico fpr a year because he tweeted support for a navy captain who negligently killed japanese citizens.

He has been tweeted videos of him pitching in mexico taunting the mexican hitters and cursing at them as he strikes them out.

Bauer also still has open lawsuits from other women against him.

Bauer also in 2019 after a twitter college student said tweeted that bauer was her least favorite athlete in sports, he then decided to randomly stalk andnharrass this random college girl on twitter and enckurage all his follwers to harrass this completely random nobody cuz he happened to see a random tweet frlm a person saying they disliked him. Hes been an unhingsd and unlikeable person even beforenthe assualt allegations and while others have done indivodually worsenthings, bauer is an idjot who will never stay put of the spotlight.

Also bauer isn't nearly as good a pitcher as you think he is and is dealing with health issues that probably make him less successful in mlb.

Before 2020, bauer had a career era well over 4. Hes only had 1 fullish season wherenhe litched like an ace- his 2020 and 2021 were partial seasons. Hes historically started hot then faded each year and not been the ace his 2020 and 2021 suggest and more a 4 era pitcher most years.

On top of that, he now has guillan barre sydrome and has felt numbness and partial paralysis in his lower extremeties during the last year in mexico. I honestly dont think hed be very successful if.he came back to mlb

But...other than that?? I agree. The old long YouTube video of the [ablution] says it all - and you only need to watch the first 2 minutes.

Bauer sounds like a tool in a lot of ways, but no one can logically explain why Ozuna (who also chocked a woman and it was most clearly not consensual) was allowed back into the league and everyone seemed to forget all about it. Heck, Aroldis Chapman chocked a woman and then decided to discharge eight gunshots into his garage, and it's all good. I am fine with a rigid standard in regards to domestic violence, if it is evenly applied.

Both also, while garbage, at least had the sense to not open their mouths any time a microphone was near them. I get the feeling that if Bauer did the same, he'd be back too.

So Bauer's crime, then, is at least partially being white and fluent in English.

And defending himself against false accusations along with a media attack against him.

Oh give me a break. Let's think about this critically, here.

Mike Leake--busted for shoplifting. And then we heard nothing about it, goes on to have a long, if undistinguished, MLB career. He also never spoke of his incident after it happened. White, and presumably fluent in English.

Julio Urias--busted for similar reasons to Trevor Bauer. Long suspension. Born in Mexico, might be fluent in English, but definitely fluent in Spanish. Decidedly not-white. 20 game winner, two top-10 Cy Young finishes, hasn't pitched since 2023. Still significantly under 30--at 28 years old. And similar to Bauer, NOBODY's touched this guy. Nobody probably will, and he's still suspended to boot.

And if Major League Baseball is being as unfair to Trevor Bauer as he claims? Why doesn't he sue? If the case is as open and shut as he says, why not sue? To hear him tell it, it's an easy case to win. So sue! Sue the pants off MLB! What are they gonna do? Keep him out of the league? Even if he wins the suit, and MLB is a baby about it, he at least as the satisfaction--and the proof--that he was blacklisted unfairly. So why doesn't he? What does he have to hide? He's certainly got enough money to hire a decent lawyer. We're not talking some poor kid from the D.R. who hadn't hit payday yet, and barely speaks English.

Sorry for your loss

I’m a big second and third chance guy. However when did professional teams ever exclude players with a bad rep or even criminal offense Answer, NEVER! As long as they have some confidence the player appears to have no issues going forward.

In this case I don’t think we know everything. There is something out there preventing a team from picking him up.

Nothing prevented his current team from picking him up.

So he went 0 for 30 at being picked up? What are the odds?

Don’t kid yourself.

Haven’t looked into it but I imagine that would be difficult to prove.

Well, then somebody let Trevor know. Because he seems to think that he can easily prove it. If it's so easy, then do it! Put up or shut up.

But he won't do it. Because that trial is going to have to go through the discovery phase, and that won't go well for Trevor. But it is easier to lob bombs from Youtube and Twitter and raise all kinds of ruckus, and get the rubes to keep his name trending when he needs it to.

I can't help but notice that this is happening right after he got strafed by some team in the NPB.

[makesnosense]

Honestly can not understand why anybody cares. If some team thought he could pitch they would sign him. But his two decent years where he pitched 120 innings total doesn’t hold up now that he isn’t allowed to use the sticky stuff to help his spin rate.

Presumably he'd still like to keep the door open to play in the majors. Suing MLB would likely close that door.

[Ozziesfan41]

One thing he does need to do is stay off social media if he ever wants to pitch in the majors again his latest tweets where he calls fans dum dums that criticized him isn’t going to just line teams up to sign him believing he has changed and won’t be a PR nightmare with tweeting and feuding with people

So what does he have to lose? If he wins, he can presumably come back in and probably gets a nice payday. If he wins, and nobody in MLB wants him, then he's still where he is now, but can at least point out that he was declared clean in a court of law. If he's cleared, he likely wins a fat stack of cash either way.

Time's a wastin'. He's 34.
