"Hypothetical: You're the owner of an MLB team, Bauer wrote. “I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A. If the 'he sucks now' crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there's no risk to the big league club."
"Since his last MLB start on June 28, 2021, as a member of the Dodgers with a $102-million, three-year contract, Bauer has been accused of sexual assault by four women. He served a 194-game suspension for violating the league's sexual assault and domestic violence policy. He has denied all the allegations and has never been charged with a crime."
"Bauer contends that signing him poses no public relations risk, citing packed stadiums and no boycotts during his recent no-hitter stint with the independent Long Island Ducks as evidence."
Trevor Bauer proposes returning to MLB by signing a minor league contract with any team for “$0 salary,” starting at the lowest level and working upward. He argues the club would face no financial risk because it could release him at any time without cost. Bauer points to his recent pitching with the independent Long Island Ducks, including a no-hitter, and claims there were packed stadiums and no boycotts. He also notes that he has been accused of sexual assault by four women and served a 194-game suspension under MLB’s sexual assault and domestic violence policy, while denying the allegations and stating he has not been charged with a crime.
