Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Thursday, December 22, 2022Dodgers’ Trevor Bauer has suspension reduced from 324 to 194 games - The Athletic $I have read that the Dodgers would release him if the suspension were lifted. If that’s true, he’d then become a free agent. Fabian Ardaya says, “Dodgers have until Jan. 6 to either put Trevor Bauer back on the 40-man roster or release him, as others have said.” If that does happen, will he be blackballed by the other teams in the league or will some team take a chance on him?

1. The Duke Posted: December 22, 2022 at 09:03 PM (#6110611)As for Bauer, that's a bad result. I thought for sure he'd get it reduced quite a bit more.
And, given the amount of negativity the Cleveland Browns encountered because of an un repentent Watson, it's a dumb move for any MLB team to grab Bauer.
Bauer for normal money should be tolerable.
Gee, I'm sure the whole league weeps for the poor, put upon Dodgers.
I'm sorry, but what planet are you living on?
and never seemed bothered by the signing.
a few people griped, and that was that.
i myself am not a browns fan.
(and bauer would not be welcomed back by guardians management for any reason.)
I guess it's worth asking who they got grief from. Have they had trouble selling out their games? Are TV ratings down? How are merch sales going?
I don't know the answers to those questions, but my sense is that there was a lot of "outrage" when the Browns signed him that faded to the point where hardly anyone noticed when his suspension actually ended. Certainly he's not prominently featured in the discourse at this point, several weeks later. And in reality, it's mostly a small percentage of people who get worked up over these kinds of things. There's obviously the press, and the internet scold brigade, but by and large it seems to me that most people are content to root for their teams and let the legal system work these things out.
I'd imagine the backlash to signing Bauer would vary from market to market to some extent. But I don't think that it's impossible for him to come back, probably to loud disapproval at first that quickly fades after people get bored and move on to the next thing.
That was poorly phrased, but I don't think the PR would have been nearly as bad if he had signed for a moderate-sized contract.
No. Everything under $22M goes to his former club. That's why released players are always paid the league minimum.
- if Bauer remains unsigned, while the Dodgers release him, they owqe Bauer $22M?
- if Bauer signs elsewhere for let's say $2M, the Dodgers owe Bauer what?
Than you might expect because he can't earn addl dollars in 2023
Than you might expect because he can't earn addl dollars in 2023
Pretty sure whatever team signs him will pay him league minimum in 2023, and then $X thereafter. Neither party has any incentive for his 2023 salary to be higher than min.
Dodgers must have known the result a while ago as they are now right up against luxury tax amount. That can't be coincidence
I don't think that's right, at least not according to Cot's. That puts his payouts as follows: $10M signing bonus (paid in $5M installments 3/15/21 and 7/15/21), 21:$28M (all payable 11/1/21), 22:$32M, 23:$32M
So he was set to make $32M this year but that will be reduced by the suspension to about $22.5M. Per Cot's: Bauer reinstated by independent arbitrator 12/22/22, with suspension reduced to 194 games (144 games in 2022 and 50 games in 2023 with credit for time on administrative leave), with Bauer losing $28,131,868 of 2022 salary (160/182 calendar days) and $9,462,365 of 2023 salary (55/186 calendar days)
He wasn't there that long and as far as I remember didn't burn any bridges. The Reds could certainly use the cheap help. I wonder.
Don't know for sure, nor I do know how concerned the Dodgers are about the tax. But the same thought also crossed my mind.
