Trevor Bauer signs 1-year deal to play in Japan​


Former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer has signed a one-year contract with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan, where he'll rejoin professional baseball for the first time in nearly two years following a long suspension and release from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 32-year-old Bauer last pitched in June 2021, when a San Diego-area woman accused him of sexually assaulting her. He was placed on administrative leave for the remainder of the season and eventually suspended for 324 games by Major League Baseball. An arbitrator in December 2022 reduced the suspension to 194 games and reinstated Bauer, and the Dodgers released the pitcher in January, eating the final $22.5 million of his three-year, $102 million contract.

Bauer will still get his full salary from the Dodgers in addition to his BayStars salary.

I love the shot clock and the shorter games but stolen bases are going to be crazy this year

Already saw the Nat's pitcher use his two check throws and the runner basically get into a sprinters stance to steal.

If base runners get too aggressive pitchers will have to take more chances with the third throw, which is allowed only if it results in an out. Risky if there are guys on first and third, but if it's just a guy on first and he going to steal anyway then take a shot at picking him off.

But I'm already a fan of the changes. It's amazing that pitchers and batters can do their jobs without wandering behind the mound or readjusting their batting gloves after each pitch. Get the pitch, get your ass in the box, and let's go.
