Honestly cannot understand why Trevor Bauer has not been

Post by Kentucky kid »

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?

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

In addition to being an infamous jackwagon, the league he dominated last year had a 40- something Robinson Cano as one of its top hitters. Not sure what else needs to be said about it.

He’s under contract this year with the Yokohama Bay Stars, as one of Japan’s highest paid athletes.

Yeah, not sure where Wattage is getting his "news"... that second part with the misspellings about the college girl is also completely wrong.

This does not look like a bridge burned.

I have zero insight into the Bauer situation.
Perhaps you should contact him yourself and get the lowdown from his side?
Oh....and say hello to Web7 & Bully4you!
Obviously today is your turn to post!

Obviously Quincy already pointed out that this is false... but I'm curious as to why you believe this to be true?
Bauer also still has open lawsuits from other women against him.
What are they? Links or details appreciated.
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.
This isn't true. I remember... maybe USA Today... running with this fake story for a minute.
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.
Elite in 2018
Cy Young in 2020
2.59 ERA / 1.00 WHIP through 17 starts in 2021

Then he was blackballed when cancel culture was near it's peak.
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
He was treated for that and recovered.

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.

If Reese McGuire can get a MLB job after being caught getting his jollies in a parking lot, Bauer could've come back from this. If only he had simply taken that time to maybe reevaluate things instead of raise all kinds of trouble whenever he could.

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.

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.

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

It’s very very easy to explain. Both those players while clearly scum bags don’t have a history of being bad teammates bad players to manage and causing other problems for every team they have ever played for so they got second chances. Anyone who thinks no one wanting to touch him is solely because of the woman who lied on him is just dumb. If Bauer was considered a great teammate like ozuna who never caused problems anywhere he went he would be pitching in the majors right now

I fully believe there is an agreement between the Commissioner's office and every owner to never allow him back.
