Hi Guys - just a poll.. Feel free to comment, but it would be better to do that on the thread and just use this for recording results...

Have at it.
 
I don’t know how anyone here can answer that question without having all the information that was reviewed by the MLB or the discussions they had with Bauer.

It's hard to agree on two years when it's twice the amount of anyone else ever got and 3-4 times as much as anyone normally gets and he actually had less on him than anyone else.

Plus he is also the man who goes after Manfred at every possible moment. If he gets 4 times as much as the man who was beating the wife when the police arrived and they saw it then isn't that an issue?

This is a good point and wouldn't be surprised if Bauer's told MLB to F##@ Off at every turn.

But 2 years? Without his admin time counted? Smells funky..

This but I find it unlikely they are sitting on a smoking gun that only they have. Possible though... more likely it's just Manfred & friends being vindictive.

From the outside, I would probably agree. It seems really convenient that the suspension doesn’t include the admin leave so it basically guarantees the Dodgers wouldn’t have to pay him another cent.

Even if the suspension is eliminated or halved, I don’t know if a team is going to be willing to sign him due to the PR repercussions. Or in the Dodgers case, if they would keep him on the team or cut him even though they would owe him for his remaining contract and player options. It seems like the Dodgers want nothing to do with him.

I forget where I read or heard this but I guess Kershaw cannot stand Bauer and this was before the allegations. No way will Bauer be back in LA...
 
No matter what happens with the appeal, Bauer is now as relevant to baseball as Bill Cosby is to comedy.

Cosby may have 'won' when he was freed, but he is no longer getting any TV gigs nor packing theaters for his stand up routines.
