Major League Baseball has suspended Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer for 324 games (two full seasons) under its domestic violence policy. The suspension (scheduled to begin tonight) is in addition to the games Bauer missed while on administrative leave: 81 last season and 18 this season.
Bauer stated he would appeal the suspension. It is unclear on what grounds his appeal would rest, since during his hearing on sexual assault charges, Bauer did not deny sworn evidence that he choked a woman to unconsciousness before punching and sodomizing her. Bauer's lawyers did not deny this evidence, either.
