Trevor Bauer suggests MLB is preventing him from signing with a new team: 'It's an MLB decision'

Former MLB star Trevor Bauer joins 'America's Newsroom' to share his story for the first time after being accused of sexual assault two years ago.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has been out of Major League Baseball for three years.

In 2021, sexual assault allegations were raised against the 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner. The MLB initially placed Bauer on administrative leave, before eventually suspending him for 324 games. The suspension was later reduced to 194 games upon appeal.

The MLB determined that Bauer violated the league's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. The league argued an independent arbitrator affirmed that Bauer violated the domestic violence policy.

"While we believe a longer suspension was warranted, MLB will abide by the neutral arbitrator’s decision, which upholds baseball’s longest-ever active player suspension for sexual assault or domestic violence," MLB said in a statement in 2022. "We understand this process was difficult for the witnesses involved and we thank them for their participation."

Despite the reinstatement, the former All-Star pitcher recently suggested that the MLB will ultimately decide whether he signs with another team.
