The Los Angeles Dodgers announced Thursday that they released pitcher Trevor Bauer, who was reinstated in December after a 194-game suspension that was issued following an investigation into allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault.
However, don't expect him to end up in New York now that he's a free agent.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported both the New York Mets and New York Yankees are not interested in signing the right-hander.
One person with the Mets said the team "dodged a bullet" by not previously signing him as a free agent, while Heyman noted "the Yankees could never consider him" since pitcher Gerrit Cole has disliked Bauer since they were college teammates at UCLA.
