Trevor Bauer Hoping To Return To MLB
1 year agoFree-agent right-hander Trevor Bauer and his agents, Jon Fetterolf and Rachel Luba, are meeting with major-league teams in hopes of finding their client a job back in the United States for next season. Bauer went 10-4 with a 2.76 ERA for the Yokohama BayStars of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball on a one-year deal in 2023, including going 9-2 with a 1.97 ERA in his last 15 starts. His fastball bumped up one mph on average as well, hitting 99.3 mph maximum in Japan. The 32-year-old was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers in early January after his domestic-violence suspension. He hasn't pitched since June of 2021 in the big leagues. His initial 324-game ban was reduced to 194 games based on the amount of time he had already spent on administrative leave while the investigations played out. It remains to be seen if any MLB will take a cheap flier on Bauer as he looks to rehabilitate his image.
