The Los Angeles Dodgers made a splash during this past offseason by signing Trevor Bauer to a record-setting three-year contract. While they were lauded by some for adding a talented pitcher to an already-deep starting rotation, others questioned the signing because of his behavior.
Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said he and team president Stan Kasten spoke with Bauer about some of his missteps on social media. Bauer himself assured there would be continued growth and maturation.
Unfortunately, he’s gone on to find himself embroiled in an investigation for alleged sexual assault. Bauer was placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball on July 2, and hasn’t pitched since June 28.
