Trevor Bauer: Former MLB Pitcher Accused of Felony Assault
Allegations and Ongoing Investigation
Former major league pitcher Trevor Bauer is currently under investigation by Pasadena police for felony assault. The accusations stem from a woman who claimed that Bauer choked her last year. Bauer has denied the allegations, but MLB has suspended him for violating their domestic violence and sexual assault policy.The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher has been at the center of controversy since the accusations surfaced. In July 2021, a restraining order was granted against Bauer, preventing him from contacting the woman who made the allegations. However, the restraining order was later dissolved.
MLB Suspension and Investigation
MLB announced in April 2022 that Bauer would be suspended for two years. The suspension was based on the league's investigation into the allegations, which concluded that there was enough evidence to support a suspension. Bauer has appealed the suspension, which is currently being processed.
Pasadena police are continuing their investigation into the assault allegations. It is unclear when the investigation will be completed or if charges will be filed against Bauer.
Bauer's Career and Future in MLB
Bauer is a highly decorated pitcher who has won the National League Cy Young Award and was named an All-Star. His suspension has put his career on hold and cast doubt on his future in MLB. It remains to be seen whether Bauer will be able to return to the league or if the allegations will end his playing days.
