Trevor Bauer, the former ace pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers whose career was derailed following multiple sexual assault allegations, has agreed to pitch for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, a Japanese professional baseball team.
in which Bauer said that playing in Nippon Professional Baseball — his new league — “has always been a dream of mine and I can’t think of a better organization to do it with.”The Dodgers will still be on the hook for $22.5 million owed to Bauer in 2023. If he had signed with an MLB team, that team — which likely would have acquired him for the league minimum — would have only offset his Dodgers’ salary.
In January, a representative for Bauer told The Washington Post that he was “negotiating with multiple MLB teams for a new contract." But the overseas deal suggests that MLB teams passed on the once-dominant pitcher dogged by a string of similar allegations made by women since an initial accuser emerged in June 2021.
