The Dodgers released Trevor Bauer on Friday, ending their affiliation with the pitcher after he served the longest suspension in the history of MLB's joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy.
Bauer was set to begin the final year of the three-year, $102 million deal he signed with Los Angeles prior to the 2021 season. He pitched in just 17 games for the Dodgers, and lost $37.5 million of that contract due to the suspension; he was docked 50 games’ worth of pay for the 2023 season.
The right-hander hasn’t appeared in a big league game since June 2021. He was placed on paid administrative leave that July, after a San Diego woman accused Bauer of sexual assault. The allegations stemmed from a pair of encounters that began as consensual and, the woman said, turned violent. Over the summer, two other women alleged similar interactions with Bauer in the past, as first
Under its current policy, MLB can punish players even if they have not been charged with or convicted of a crime. Bauer’s contract remains guaranteed even after the Dodgers released him. He will still be owed $22.5 million for 2023, and that figure will still count toward the Dodgers’ luxury tax tabulations, which aren’t finalized until the end of the 2023 season. Any team that signs Bauer would only have to pay him the league minimum, saving the Dodgers just $720,000 in payroll should he be signed.
