Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer's leave is extended through the end of the season as D.A.'s office considers possible sexual assault charges.
, Major League Baseball and the players union agreed Friday to extend Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer’s paid leave from the team through the end of the season.sexual assault and obtained a temporary restrainingThe short-term extensions — usually, a week at a time — had provided a path for Bauer to seek reinstatement if he were not charged.
“Today, Mr. Bauer agreed to extend his administrative leave through the playoffs in a measure of good faith and in an effort to minimize any distraction to the Dodgers organization and his teammates,” Bauer’s agents Jon Fetterolf and Rachel Luba said in a statement Friday. “He continues to cooperate with the MLB investigation and refute the baseless allegations against him.”A judge Thursday lifted a restraining order against Trevor Bauer.
Bauer is in the first year of a three-year, $102-million contract. The Dodgers remain on the hook for his entire $28 million salary this season in addition to two $5 million signing bonuses Bauer has already received. A Cy Young Award winner last season with the Cincinnati Reds, Bauer was 8-5 with a 2.59 ERA over 17 starts with the Dodgers.
Under MLB’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy, the right to discipline Bauer remains with the league until it concludes its investigation, or until commissioner Rob Manfred transfers disciplinary authority to the Dodgers. At that point, if the Dodgers wish to cut ties with Bauer, they can release him and pay off the balance of the contract, or they can try to void the deal and risk an almost certain grievance, in which they would argue that Bauer had violated personal conduct standards in the contract.
