The Los Angeles Dodgers assumed some risk when they signed Trevor Bauer to a record-setting contract during the offseason, but up until this year most of the concerns had been based on his comments and behavior on social media.
However, the end of June brought about allegations of sexual assault and a San Diego woman obtaining an ex parte temporary restraining order. Major League Baseball placed Bauer on paid administrative leave July 2, and he has remained on the restricted list since that point.
Each week, MLB and the Players Association have agreed to extend the administrative leave amid ongoing investigations by both the league and Pasadena Police Department.
