Los Angeles has had months to prepare for the decision of whether to cut the pitcher or continue rostering him.
In April, Bauer was suspended 324 games for domestic violence. That suspension was reduced to 194 games on Thursday.
The Dodgers have 14 days to decide how they will handle Trevor Bauer—whether they will cut the pitcher, who has just been reinstated from the longest suspension for domestic violence in league history, or whether they will continue to roster him.
This is a time frame established by Major League Rule 2(c)(6)(K)(iii).
