Column: Do allegations of harassment, bullying make Trevor Bauer a risk for Dodgers?

Can’t be too surprised.

Half of the city couldn’t watch the Dodgers on television for six years because of these people.

Of course they would sign Trevor Bauer.

The team’s owners believed this was good business, acquiring the top free-agent pitcher on the market on an unusually short deal.

Segments of their fan base are uncomfortable they signed an internet bully with a history of allegations that he harassed women, mocked transgender people and spread conspiracy theories, but the Dodgers didn’t view any of that as a reason to pass on an opportunity to show the world how smart they are.
