Bauer can sign with any major league team for the $720,000 minimum and can play immediately after completing a record-long suspension.Bauer was handed the longest suspension of any active player under MLB's domestic violence policy. He'll likely clear waivers and become a free agent. Any team who chooses to sign him will pay the league a minimum of $720,000.It was a tough decision for a team that paid a good amount of money for a former Cy Young Award winner. But the fanbase and other players on the team wanted him out.&quot;Big W&quot; said former MLB pitcher Jerry Blevins.Jerry Blevins@jerryblevins@JeffPassan big W5829@JeffPassan big W&quot;This will be interesting&quot; one fan said.Patches O’Houlihan@sondraa@JeffPassan This will be interesting311@JeffPassan This will be interestingGabe Henderson@GabeHSports@JeffPassan I wonder which classless organization will sign him 🙃13@JeffPassan I wonder which classless organization will sign him 🙃Nathan Sheets@nathansheets@JeffPassan The right decision.5@JeffPassan The right decision.Baseball fans love the decision made by the Los Angeles Dodgers to DFA Trevor Bauer. He's quickly become one of the most disliked active players in the league. While he's an excellent pitcher, he has too much baggage.matt harvey@halladayfan32@JeffPassan no one should ever sign him he should never play another game in the majors16@JeffPassan no one should ever sign him he should never play another game in the majorsLeahofDodgersLand@dodgerstopshelf@JeffPassan Thank you.4@JeffPassan Thank you.eduardo ﾒ𝟶🌅@mookieplzhomer@JeffPassan BAAAAANGGGG2@JeffPassan BAAAAANGGGG💙@bluejaysb1tch@JeffPassan YESSS LETS GO!!!!2@JeffPassan YESSS LETS GO!!!!Based on the responses, you would think the Dodgers just signed Shohei Ohtani. It's crazy to see how happy this decision has made not just Dodgers fans but baseball fans of other teams as well.The Los Angeles Dodgers made the right decision on Trevor BauerLos Angeles Dodgers v Colorado RockiesWhether he did what he was accused of is beside the point. You can't have a player on your team that creates that kind of attention. If the Dodgers were to keep him on the roster, the entire 2023 season would be filled with the media questioning the decision.It would be distracting for the other players on the team to get asked questions daily about a teammate they may not like. You can't expect a successful season from a team plagued by media drama.It will be interesting to see if Bauer gets picked up by another team. As stated earlier, he's a former Cy Young Award-winning pitcher. There are definitely some MLB teams that can use him, especially by paying him the league minimum.Will we see Trevor Bauer pitch on a big league mound ever again? We'll have to wait and see if any team takes the bait on him.
