Dodgers designate Trevor Bauer for assignment after pitcher's reinstatement from MLB suspension

Trevor Bauer is free to pitch in MLB again, but it won't be with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers announced Friday that the former NL Cy Young Award winner will no longer be part of their organization after his reinstatement from a suspension that was shortened from 324 games to 194 games on Dec. 22.

The official roster move will be Los Angeles designating Bauer for assignment. That means the team has until next Thursday to trade him, at which point he must be placed on unconditional waivers. If no team wants to cover Bauer's 2023 salary, he will become a free agent and be able to sign with any team for the MLB minimum salary of $720,000.
