A contract is possible even with the minimum salary.”
‘Bad boy’ Trevor Bauer (33) appealed to the major league club to recruit him. Bauer said on his social network service (SNS) on the 8th (Korean time), "Blake Snell is scheduled to receive hundreds of millions of dollars on a multi-year contract. He should be, and he is a pitcher who deserves it. But I don't want to invest hundreds of millions of dollars over many years. “Any team that doesn’t have one can sign with me. A contract is possible even at the lowest salary,” he wrote.
Bauer was a right-handed pitcher who showed off top skills in the major leagues. He was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first round, third overall, in the 2011 draft, and made his major league debut in 2012. He dominated the league by throwing fastballs, cut fastballs, sliders, and curveballs that reached up to 99 mph (about 159 km). He later played for the Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
His skills reached their peak in 2020, which was a shortened season due to COVID-19. Bauer, who played for Cincinnati, pitched 73 innings in 11 games and recorded 5 wins, 4 losses, and an ERA of 1.73. Bauer ranked first in the National League in ERA and even won the Cy Young Award.
Bauer, who qualified as a free agent ahead of the 2021 season, signed a three-year contract worth a total of $102 million and wore a Dodgers uniform. He also served as a starting pitcher for the Dodgers, recording 8 wins, 5 losses, and an ERA of 2.59 in 17 games and 107⅔ innings. However, Bauer could no longer play. This is because it became known that he was investigated by the prosecution on charges of violence against women. Bauer was accused of becoming violent with a woman he met through social media after having sex with her.
The Major League Baseball office suspended Bauer, and the Dodgers decided to release him because they could not continue working with Bauer, who had caused problems with his personal life. Reporter Bob Nightingale of the American media USA-Today also shared the reason why the Dodgers kicked Bauer out, saying, "Bauer is known to have no regrets at all. He didn't even say sorry to his teammates."
It wasn't an easy decision. After deciding to release Bauer, the Dodgers said, "We tried to make sure we were making the right decision. We took our time to get as much information as possible. But after meeting Bauer, we made a decision in a very short period of time. We made up our minds to release him. “I am very confident that I made the right decision,” he said.
Bauer went looking for a new team, but no major league club wanted him. In the end, Bauer signed a contract with the Japanese professional baseball team Yokohama DeNA Baystars across the Pacific. Bauer continued his career in Japan, saying, "He knew he wanted to play in Japan. He had gone to Japan for the U.S. national team in college, and he could sense a lot of the love for baseball in Japan." Bauer left with Yokohama with a record of 10 wins, 4 losses, and an average ERA of 2.76 in 19 games.
However, another victim came forward claiming to have been sexually assaulted by Bauer. He was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Arizona and choking her into unconsciousness. The victim reportedly claimed in her court filing that Bauer sexually assaulted her, impregnated her, and held a steak knife to her throat.
Despite the privacy issues, Yokohama wanted to accompany Bauer. However, Bauer did not renew his contract with Yokohama and decided to knock on the Major League door again. However,
