The Los Angeles Dodgers‘ ongoing attempt to defend their World Series title has been overshadowed by the disturbing narrative surrounding Trevor Bauer, who’s currently on paid administrative leave while he’s investigated for sexual assault allegations.
The Dodgers would love to cut bait with Bauer, but that simply isn’t possible right now. At this point, however, it’s fair to assume Bauer’s season is over and it’s not crazy to think his MLB career is in jeopardy.
