MLB: Trevor Bauer has ‘little or no’ chance to play again for Dodgers

Trevor Bauer’s signature it has been a real headache for the Los Angeles Dodgers, since despite his good performance on the field of play in the first half of last season, his legal problems have affected the team both in the chemistry between the players and in the money that the team disbursed for him, making him the highest paid in MLB in 2021.

The truth is that although Bauer is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and apparently has a view to continue playing with the Dodgers, apparently the organization still does not visualize the pitcher in the organization in the future, since according to information from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the team does not want to have him on their roster again and that could cause a problem between both parties.

Rosenthal mentions that with the police still conducting the criminal investigation against Bauer, regardless of the outcome MLB will try to suspend him, which Bauer and his legal team will seek to fight tooth and nail, with the Dodgers seeking a legal way out of Bauer’s contract due to the problems it has caused them.

The Dodgers are looking to get rid of Bauer’s contract because it is a burden on their inflated payroll, which in one way or another has prevented them from signing free agents because it is $ 45 million by 2022, after having paid him 40 million in 2021 for being on administrative leave for more than half the season without playing.

I started as a rookie on Al Bat in early 2018 and I’m going into my third season covering Major League Baseball as a web reporter. I am a fan of the San Francisco Giants, a number one defender of Barry Bonds and a critic of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña are the future of baseball, Mike Trout is overrated, and the Astros deserved to be taken away from the World Series for cheating. Besides baseball, I also enjoy soccer, football, basketball, and just about any other game that includes a ball or a ball. I am also an amateur musician, penniless gamer and very nerdy. Graduated in journalism from the University of Guadalajara, I graduated in 2017. Born in the shrimp capital of the world, Escuinapa, Sinaloa. I lived in Australia for a while; i survived giant spiders, tasmanian devils and fought a kangaroo and didn’t die trying.
