When the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Trevor Bauer to a record-setting three-year contract this past February, it was met with criticism by some because of past behavior on social media.
The right-hander vowed to learn from those mistakes and went on to enjoy early success with his new organization. However, he has not pitched in a game since June 28 due to sexual assault allegations.
Bauer was placed on paid administrative leave at the start of July and has remained on the restricted list ever since. Such has required approval from the Players Association, who recently agreed to extend his leave for an eighth time through Sept.
