“It is possible to sign a contract with Korea and Japan”… Shall we turn our attention to Asia?

Trevor Bauer, who was disciplined by the Major League Secretariat for ‘sexual assault’, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have confirmed their breakup. So, what will Bauer’s next destination be? He also raised the possibility of advancing to the Korean or Japanese leagues.

Local multiple media, including John Heyman of the US’MLB Network’, reported the news of the breakup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Trevor Bauer on the 7th (hereinafter Korean time). The Dodgers removed Bauer from their 40-man roster and placed him on a waiting list.

Bauer was accused of assault while having sex with a woman in 2021. After the news broke, the MLB Office ordered Bauer to take an administrative leave of absence. Bauer consistently maintained his innocence, and the prosecution seemed to be cleared of all charges as prosecutors decided not to prosecute him for “insufficient evidence.”

However, the MLB Office, which can punish players accused of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse even if not convicted, gave Bauer a 324-game suspension. Bauer started moving directly to return to the mound, and in December of last year, he succeeded in reducing his 324 game suspension to 194 games.메이저놀이터

Arithmetically, Bauer has the conditions to return to the mound when all discipline ends on May 24 of this year. However, it is expected that it will be difficult to see Bauer standing on the mound in a Dodgers uniform. Their separation was virtually confirmed when the Dodgers designated Bauer for transfer (DFA) on the 7th.

Currently, Bauer could be looking for a fresh start if any team hopes to sign him for seven days. But if no team wants to sign him, he’ll be released as a free agent. Bauer’s remaining annual salary for the 2023 season is $22.5 million (approximately 28.3 billion won), but this is a share the Dodgers have to bear. A team that recruits Bauer can have a Cy Young pitcher for a minimum annual salary of 720,000 dollars (about 900 million won).

It is unclear whether Bauer will be able to continue his career in the United States. Reactions in the US are mixed. With the prospect of not having Bauer, who has already caused controversy, there may be a club that cannot resist the temptation of having a Cy Young Award-winning pitcher.

The US ‘Washington Post’ raised the possibility that Bauer would turn his eyes to overseas leagues. The ‘Washington Post’ pointed out on the 8th that “Bauer is free to sign contracts with foreign leagues such as Korea and Japan.” If your will to live as an athlete is stronger than money, this is an issue that you can fully consider.

First of all, the reaction in the US is not very good. Like Yasiel Puig, there is a high possibility that no club will come out hoping to sign Bauer. Attention is focusing on whether Bauer, who is about to become a free agent, will turn his eyes to the Asian stage or continue his career in the United States.메이저놀이터
