Where Do You Draw the Line?

Bauer is persona non grata at this point. He is not relevant to the Dodgers anymore for this season. His fate will be decided by people with more knowledge of the situation than any of us. As for whether he pitches again anywhere in the majors, all of those questions cannot be answered until all of the legal issues are resolved. Then if MLB ultimately suspends him, the MLBPA and MLB will go toe to toe to see how that issue is resolved. That being said, it does not impact the rest of this season since he will not pitch for the Dodgers.

Not even a fun read, and a useless one to boot.

Legality is, for a multiple time, irrelevant. As are individual personal (yours, mine) views on the issue. The aggregate does matter.

It’s like the Scarlet Letter or Roth’s Human Stain. What matters is the sullying. Aesthetics.

I don’t believe it’s any coincidence that we haven’t heard a thing about where this stands legally. It will all be resolved after the season because too much money is on the line in MLB to have the black eye nationally exposed. Whatever is to be decided will be decided after the World Series is over.

Any fan’s personal opinion on Bauer is meaningless. I personally don’t give a damm what went on between those two. I’m not so naive as to believe this is unusual and/or unacceptable behavior. I happen to know this kind of activity is quite popular among consenting adults. My take? Simple. What people do behind closed doors is their business, not mine. As for the accusations at this point that’s all they are and there have been many men, some of considerable high social and political standing, that have been accused of bad behavior yet continued doing their jobs as lawyers and courts continued doing theirs, which is to drag proceedings out into as many billable hours as possible.

The Dodgers have moved on. Bauer is finished here. As to the question if he pitches again somewhere else, who gives a sh*t?

As recent as 2017 the answer to your last question was, in Texas, yes. And I think the Rangers could use an upgrade in pitching.

Right or wrong,it’s perception that will prevent Bauer from ever throwing another pitch as a LA Dodger.There will be another team that will eventually sign Bauer after the Dodgers release him and still paying the remainder of his contract unless he settles with them at a lower amount and moves on. He is not worth the drama and distraction from the actual game itself he will cause.

Wrong guy to make excuses for. Goodbye Trevor and goodbye LADT.
