On Thursday night, Major League Baseball announced that Trevor Bauer’s 324-game suspension had been reduced to 194 games by an independent arbitrator. Bauer is eligible to return to baseball immediately, after the arbitrator applied credit for the time he was on the restricted list in the second half of 2021. But what went into the decision? And what is Bauer’s future in MLB? We break down the biggest questions surrounding the pitcher’s potential return.<\/p>\n
Why was Bauer suspended last year?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Bauer was suspended on the grounds of sexual misconduct, but the league has never released the full findings of its nine-month investigation. We know a woman in San Diego accused him of taking rough sex too far in April and May 2021 and requested a temporary restraining order against him later that summer, triggering a prolonged investigation by MLB. And we know that two other women, both from Ohio, made similar while speaking to The Washington Post. Whether there are any other alleged victims, or other women with whom the league spoke, isn’t public, due to the confidentiality provisions of the domestic violence policy.<\/p>\n
