Trevor Bauer set to play in Japan

Post by cardsfantx »

saw the other thread was locked, so guess posting a new thread is ok? (as long as it doesn't go off the rails)

Trevor Bauer set to play in Japan after going unsigned in MLB free agency, per report

https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/trev ... er-report/
Trevor Bauer, who was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers in January, has agreed to a one-year pact with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball League. The contract, originally reported by Yuki Yamada of Sankei Sports, will pay Bauer $3 million (400 million Japanese Yen) plus incentives.

Just stop the trolling on this.
It wasn’t funny any of the times you did this before and it isn’t now.

With all due respect and I mean that, are we not permitted to have a difference of opinion on a topic? I'm not arguing that Bauer is a good guy or even not a bad guy however the facts as I understand them are as follows:

1. The Dodgers are aware of Bauer's history yet they sign him to an enormous FA contract.

2. The SD woman makes allegations against Bauer.

3. Bauer is suspended by MLB for 324 games.

4. Bauer provides evidence that the accuser lied about when the injuries occurred and an independent arbitrator truncates Bauer's suspension to 194 games. In addition, Bauer was never actually charged with a crime and his accuser was denied the restraining order which she sought.

I'm not arguing that St Louis should sign the guy, they shouldn't obviously. But if he didn't actually commit the crime he was accused of then he should be able to earn a living.

Given that you were clearly trolling this last summer/ fall it’s just annoying to have it start up again.
All the rebuttals to your question were covered the first 1000 times you were trolling.

I appreciate your schtick most times, but this is just irritating.

Were all 1,000 rebuttals facts, or were they also opinions? No matter if they were facts, we are all still allowed our opinions on this matter and any other. Try by not responding; BB didnt irritate you, you allowed yourself to be irritated. There are worse cases than Bauer's where professional athletes are allowed to "try again" in the sport where they were dominant at some point, but have since become pariahs. Trevor wasnt convicted, or charged. I'd love to hear the "rebuttal" for Michael Vick, or maybe Ray Lewis..
