In July of that season, Bauer was placed on administrative leave as MLB looked into claims made by a woman that he had attacked her twice at his house during consensual intercourse. Later, similar claims were made by other women.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/latest_snews\/status\/1719296906718003502<\/p>\n<p>Under the Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy, MLB banned Bauer for two full seasons, or 324 games, in April 2022. Later, after an appeal, the punishment was lowered to 194 games. When Bauer&#8217;s ban expired in January 2023, the Dodgers released him. Bauer never faced charges or an arrest. Earlier last month, he and one of the ladies resolved their legal disagreement.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mookie Betts had a lot of positive things to say about Trevor Bauer.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MqeAcfTGhZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/MqeAcfTGhZ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6EZTmCcB46\">pic.twitter.com\/6EZTmCcB46<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Dodger Blue (@DodgerBlue1958) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DodgerBlue1958\/status\/1719159873924202839?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 31, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy experience with Bauer is not anything remotely close to what everyone else\u2019s experience is,\u201d Mookie continued. \u201cI love him.
