I haven't followed this story that closely and don't care all that much, but I'm hopeful that MLB will clarify what makes this incident 5-10 times worse than the others MLB has dealt with. There have been some pretty terrible crimes that have only resulted in double digit games lost as opposed to the ~400 we are seeing here.

 

Is this what we can expect going forward for other players involved in domestic violence or was this a special case? If it's the former then I'm ok with that. If it's the latter then they have some explaining to do.

 

The difference is Bauer embarrassed the league by calling them out for doing nothing about sticky stuff, proceeded to win a cy young while overtly using sticky stuff, and then continued to beat the drum after he won the cy by posting countless videos on youtube about the use of sticky stuff.

 

He's the primary reason the mlb had to crack down on it and they dont like players dictating the game at that level.

The rest of the situation aside, filming someone asleep like that is really f***ing s*****.

That’s just the perfect example of the current divide of people nowadays. Jim’s will just keep reading and others will just be like “wtf are you even serious”… everyone can agree the initial allegations against Bauer were beyond disturbing…but what really happened is just wow (from what we know so far including this new one)

 

What are you talking about. I have never expressed that Bauer is guilty or innocent, only to let the facts as determined by a court of law decide. Making conclusions based on stuff on twitter and other social media is just dumb.

I don’t like the idea of media and human rights activists deciding his fate. It should be voted on upon his peers if he should continue in Baseball.

 

He was cleared of all charges. Had both a compelling case and physical and visual proof of his innocence. Enough of this cancel culture s*** and let the man play Baseball.

Chapman said: “I want to be clear I did not in any way harm my girlfriend that evening. However, I should have exercised better judgment with respect to certain actions, and for that, I am sorry.

 

“The decision to accept a suspension, as opposed to appealing one, was made after careful consideration.’’

 

Chapman, 27, was accused of choking his girlfriend, Cristina Barnea, during an Oct. 30 argument at his Davie, Fla. home. Chapman then smashed a window of a car in the home's garage, grabbed a handgun and fired nine rounds inside the garage.

He got way too many games. It's a shame the MLB bullied him for bringing light to the sticky stuff. I hope he continues to not give a f***, I wanna see him tackle the issue with the balls next.

It all comes down to $$$. Not the money it will take to sign him but will the backlash be enough to drive away sponsors. Social media is now about 50/50 mostly split down the middle based on their opinion of Trevor previous to the incident. For a team to spin the PR that this was a kink and a golddigger just won't happen (that is his team's job and they have done it well), as it undermines the suspension and team's just can't do that.

 

So it has to be a team that is prepared to lose a sponsor if the media spins it as taking on a demon. You have a month to decide and I think there will be enough team's who decide it is worth the risk.

What’s the difference between Osuna and Bauer for PR? I don’t think the Stros lost sponsors.. Astros are probably just going to get better…

Surplus value. Everyone’s favourite term

 

If all it takes is the lost sponsor

 

Is that sponsor worth 40M? I doubt it

Bauer would be an interesting get. He's been keeping at it during his time away so he shouldn't be too rusty. Not sure it would be worth the headache from a PR/clubhouse side.
