Trevor Bauer has been suspended for the two straight seasons. Is he innocent? The baseball pitcher is being investigated for domestic violence.
Major League Baseball made a decision regarding the pitcher Trevor Bauer. According to the statement released by MLB, the pitcher has been suspended for 324 championship season games.
Following the statement, Los Angeles Dodgers released their own statement on how they don’t support sexual assault and child abuse. Trevor has tweeted that he will be appealing the decision soon.
Is Trevor Bauer Innocent? Why Is He Suspended?
Trevor Bauer is yet to be criminally charged for alleged sexual assault and abuse.
However, MLB has already made the decision to suspend the player for two seasons straight. He reportedly violated the MLB’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policy.
In June 2021, Bauer was accused of sexually assaulting a woman and choking her without her consent. But she wasn’t the only woman to accuse the pitcher of such actions.
A few months after the incident, the Dodgers star uploaded a video captioned “The Truth” on his Youtube channel. Even though he is yet to be found guilty, MLB has issued a suspension for 324 championship games.
