Bauer FACES The Yankees 

What surprises ME, is that the MLBPA isn’t doing a damn thing about this. The always “supportive” and “players first” players union hasn’t done ANYTHING for this man.

This man needs to be pitching in the MLB

I love that he's making a statement by signing these 1-4 day contracts. If I were him I would sue the MLB

As a lifelong Yankees fan and a Bauer fan this is a situation that makes me reminisce of the old days. If George was still alive he would have been the first owner to step up and sign Trevor and wouldn't give a damn what anybody else thinks. George was big on second chances, but even bigger on helping those that could play and got screwed. Truth is Trevor did nothing wrong and it's not really about giving somebody a 2nd chance, it's about PR. George didn't care about PR when it came to winning World Series. And that's why he was so successful as an owner. I wish Hal would have learned that from his dad.

Think he should sue Manfred to the hilt. It is obvious that he had him blackballed. Of course, no owner is going to cut off the gravey Train of mlb, but Bauer deserves a contract.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that it wasn’t the alleged assault that’s keeping him out of baseball. There are a handful of other active players that have had similar issues that were honestly probably worse. Bauer’s crime is that he was vocal about the game and the league and its operations and this was just the stars aligning for Rob Manfred…..or is it….

Give this man a fucking shot at least.....Some team in MLB needs to get the balls to give him a contract to pitch.

MLB doesn’t like Bauer because he stands in the face of their hypocrisy. If they allowed him back they’d have to deal with him calling out all their bullshit. Mustn’t forget that Bauer was a problem for the league before the SA scandal. I think he’s one of the most interesting and entertaining players of all time, and MLB doesn’t want a personality that’s bigger than their product.

I was not a Bauer fan until started hearing maybe he was innocent started following his RU-vid channel and his buddies and realized he just does things his own way and he’s a very good guy. He might have made some mistakes in past but has apologized and it’s obvious he’s grown and deserves to play where he wants to

My home town team the Texas Rangers signed Matt Bush, who went to prison for driving under the influence and causing serious bodily injury (nearly killed a motorcyclist) and no one in the MLB cared. This is absolutely a black ball from MLB for him speaking out against sticky gate, getting nothing back, then using it himself and winning the CY Young and saying I told you so.

Trevor Bauer is not being black listed from the MLB because of his allegations. He’s being attacked because he proved the MLB was purposely doctoring and changing balls, game to game for person to person. If you ever wondered why it sometimes looked like Shohei hit a bouncy ball instead of a baseball it’s because he essentially was. He alone brings billions to the MLB across foreign markets. MLB is a business first, and a sporting organization second.

Not only should he be welcomed back, he is owed an apology. And compensation. By MLB. ESPN. And everyone else who defamed him.

Any case of SA deserves a serious investigation. I beleive most women would never file a false claim. In The USA we are suposed to be innocent until PROVEN Guilty.She wasn't even issued a restraining order because her story didn't add up to the judge. No charges filed. Hundreds of millions of dollars lost. Baseball is on the wrong side of this. It has been over 2 years since accusations hes had no issues, no issues in Japan. Give him the ball, likely you'll get a loyal changed player for the opportunity. Give him a 1 year incentive heavy contract and a 1 year team option based on his stats.

FREE Bauer!!! This modern society punishes anyone who thinks independently and are vocal about it. It has nothing to do with the case, and all to do with making an example of him for all who don’t follow the script to see!

If no one in MLB has signed him by now, when he clearly will play for league minimum with performance incentives, there is collusion among the owners with Manfred. He needs to just go back to Yokohama for another year, they have a terrific offense but lack in pitching. With Bauer back in the fold, they would be instant contenders for the Japan Series in 2024.

So i learnt about the whole situation when i started watching him in Momentum and i didnt know he was a previus MLB pitcher. He seems to be having a lot of fun in Momentum but he 100% should get signed

I cant believe the Yankees wont give him a chance

i'm not a lawyer and don't know the law. it seems he would have a case for collusion. some players years ago sued about this and won.

Nothing controversial about him, found innocent of everything. He should sue the MLB for the monetary losses

I'm not a fan of lawsuits but he should be suing the league in my opinion. It's bullshit that he is still being punished for not actually committing a crime 🤬

I've watched a lot of his RU-vid stuff and I like the guy, straight up seems like an awesome dude. I will continue to hope I wake up to the headline , "Yankees sign Bauer"

Thank you for the footage

I have been saying for years i think he got a raw deal and should pitch in the MLB because his talent dictates that...

This is so ridiculous I can't believe that the MLB has him blackballed like this. The guy is obviously a very intelligent very talented pitcher and would do amazing things. He's already served a punishment for something he didn't even do. I thought for sure he was gonna get signed when he came back from Japan. What a tragedy

100% should be pitching in MLB, the league owners should be ashamed of teh way they are treating a victim of an extortion attempt.

bauer should be on a mlb team.

Yankees need him. Dude deserves it.... this is sad and pisses me off to watch someone so good just put on the bench...smh.

He definitely needs to be back in MLB. Preferably with the Jays.

Great video brother !

Absolutely, put him in pinstripes. His big mistake was the email comment; "Fun is bad, cheating is good.... " even though that's what we all may agree with in reference to the Astros, it is rubbing Rob's & the MLB owners noses in it. Get over it! I think T.B. has.

This proves how crooked the MLB is….. It’s a damn shame that this man isn’t in the majors.

Let’s also not forget he won the cy young award for best pitcher in MLB in 2020

Thanks for all the videos batflip, you have inspired me to make my own, definitely earned a sub

That woman should be in jail for what she did to him.

That man deserves to return.

I like always putting saying this. As a fan who pays per ticket 1k-7k a game. Also I travel with the team away games. When the dodgers signed him I was very excited. As soon as the reports came out people were already sentencing him. I have family in federal and state prison and for us to judge a human being without a trial is crazy. I kept posting comments wait till we get the trail wait till we hear the evidence. The dodgers completely banished an innocent man. Trevor doesn’t deserve a second chance, he never deserved to get banished in the first place. Hope a team can sign him. Also I have boycotted the dodgers. I ain’t stepping foot in that stadium again. Not like there going to miss me anyways.

Bauer not only should be back in baseball. He should be back paid for the money that MLB cost him.

He deserves another chance..he has changed alot and grew up some. Fantastic pitcher a student of the art 😊

I think he's blackballed from opening the "can of worms" with pitchers using substances to increase spin rate

Hi. @stevenwarnick Well written, just wanted to point out a couple things. I’m a retired Sheriff’s Detective. During my career I spent 8 years in the Sexual Crimes/Crimes Against Children division. In our office alone, we received hundreds of sexual complaints each year. Statically among modern adult sexual assault claims (excluding people coming forward to report things that happened as children), nearly 40% of claims that women made against men proved to be false claims or unfounded. Most of those resulted in being charged themselves for falsely reporting an incident. 20% were either investigated cases without a charge resulting. The other 40% resulting in an arrest or criminal summons. This is fairly consistent with the national average.

Imagine going thru these accusations and whole world thinks you are guilty. Then you are proven she was a con artist and set you up yet still are balackballed from mlb. I wish the redsox would sign him. One of the best pitchers in baseball for the league minimum. The general manager would look like a genius. At this point I’d be happy if the Yankees signed him he just deserves another chance. He was a perfect teammate in Japan and was loved there. MLB stop this crap and let him play.

This man has honestly gotten me interested in baseball again. I love the way he vlogs his experiences and the way he break down his play. It is really sad that the league is basically shinning a guy for bringing a sticky situation to light. Any pitcher in that clubhouse would greatly benefit from Trevor's knowledge of training too!

My favorite cageball commissioner

Bauer not being in the MLB is doing more damage to the leagues image, then him being in the league. MLB was a joke to most sports fans prior to Bauer situation, this just makes it more clear how much of a joke the league really is.

I’d say he has base for a collusion lawsuit against the MLB

That woman who falsely accused him deserves life in prison. She not only damaged a man, but damaged all real future SA victims.

Just remember that Marcell ozuna gets to play 😊

as a yankees fan, we really need him our pitching rotation is really shaky at best

There has to be one owner among the thirty that’s sees delicious low hanging fruit for free. It’s insane. Btw, very good video, thank you.

I think Mr. Bauer should be allowed to pitch again in the MLB. He may be odd in their opinion, but he has proven he is a good guy and even good for baseball. I loved him in Japan. I became a Yokohama Bay Stars fan, I will probably follow his Mexican baseball team, especially if he is signed. Let him play! Don't let bad women win because if you do, ballplayers will continue to be targets.

Baseball has been dying since 2000s. But I enjoy Bauer’s YT channel. Reminds me of how fun baseball used to be.

Dodgers and mlb will end up paying him huge

MLB should be ashamed for treating an innocent man as guilty.

Let him play!!!! Baseball needs more entertainment and he definitely is entertaining!!! Fucking pimp everything!!!!!

Whichever team brings him will be up. The motivation to absolutely smoke everyone is unmatched

All that training with Eric is paying off 😂

Not watching mlb til he’s signed

He deserves to get signed for sure. He’s done the work and has been completely transparent with the situation. Sounds like he’s willing to be a honest and reliable leader.

He's trolling MLB hard by signing with those teams to pitch against them and show them he's still elite as ever.

Dodgers fan here. Always on the side of women during accusations and was no different when the stories first broke. Just like with Julio Urias, any crime against women = ur ded to me. But when those texts leaked + zero settlement payment makes it seem like this was plan to screw a famous baseball player for a payday. Also seems that club owners got marching orders from Commish Manfred to not touch Bauer (avid Manfred non-supporter) with a 10 foot pole. The dude has seemingly cleared his name & is still playing lights out. This is either a case of teams are afraid of negative PR despite no damning evidence or Big Manfredo using his power to keep his big critic out of the game. Sucks.

I'd love to see you back in a Reds uni Trevor!

The whole situation sucks. And you’re right about what you believe the owners of the teams are doing because I’ve thought that he was/is being black balled from being allowed back into the league to pitch. I’d love to see him back in the league pitching but at this point I don’t think it’ll ever happen. It’ll take a miracle to get him back into the majors again.😢😢

How is chapman still playing but bauer isnt?

Come on Cubs We need him

As long as the players would accept him, I hope the Rangers sign him!!

People need to understand that the reason teams aren't signing Bauer has nothing to do with his skill. Every team knows he's a good pitcher. It's the off the field stuff they don't want to get involved with. No matter what your opinion on him is, this is just a fact.

NY Yankees need him urgently

teams also have a couple other issues with him, like the bd911 and stuff like that, but he is an all star pitcher

He was defrauded by that woman. He may not be the nicest guy, but he deserves to be back in the MLB.

The fact that this guy can’t be in the MLB has me to the point where I’m about ready to continue to just follow the Baystars .

It’s not about if he deserves to come back. It’s about the lack of transparency from the round table of baseball. The game has always been and will always be manipulated (call it cheating if you want) spidertack, metal rods in bats, trash cans, etc. It’s nothing but personal against Bauer because he figured out the game behind the curtains

Have any current players come to his defense?

Sign him to the BLUE JAYS. Get up here. We Canadians welcome him with open arms!

People that defend Bauer always seem to only tell half the story.

Theses owners need to get over their hypocrisy. They can sign Ozuna and German who are guilty are crimes of abuse but they can't sign Bauer. Get over it.

The funny thing about Bauer trowing 99mph he said he wasn’t trying/or at least was feeling he was throwing that hard but seriously he should be allowed to play for the mlb he was proven of being innocent of the SA meanwhile we have baseball players that u has done some bad things that should have them in jail but there not & still playing baseball

this series of unfortunate events are the best thing to happen to mexican baseball since Valenzuela, i just hope to watch him pitch against my Tigres in Cancun that would be surreal. Also, Diablos is not A mexican team, but THE most important and historic team in our league.

yes

I would take a whole team of Trevor Bauers.

It’s a damn shame this man isn’t in the league. MLB is beyond screwed up

I was an Athletic Trainer in the Dodgers Org in the late '80's, so I understand a bit more about MLB than the average person. I had some of the same problems through HS & during my stint in baseball that Trevor had. Baseball is full of great people, many I met & worked with became very good friends; still are nearly 40 yrs later. I learned the vast majority of the great ones are former big league players, or neva' were players. There is also a fair percentage of former players who never made it to the bigs for more than a cup of coffee. The majority of these never weres are jealous, insecure, back stabbing & gossipy as... well, I was about to compare them to 'old women', as the old saying goes, but I don't want to drag old women to their level. I witnessed & experienced behavior where people were so jealous of someone else succeeding, they would sabotage the success, even if it stiffled success for the organization. Some were so jealous & insecure it didn't matter they weren't competing for the same job; if ANYONE shined, it made them look bad, cause THEY weren't being noticed for their 'full time shining talent'*. (*Their self-view.) I saw this self-centered behavior all the way up to Manager level. In addition, MLB, as a whole, is where innovative ideas go to die. Trevor was bullied through out his youth, HS & college years. By college, he'd developed some fairly effective coping methods to deal w/ bullies, even teammates who tried to bully him & tried to pass it off as 'I just don't like them.' I was very small for my age, young for my grade level & was bullied in HS. Never before that, but our HS mixing 2 jr high schools, brought kids who I hadn't known since Gr 1; mixed in were kids who 'just didn't like me'. I learned during HS bullies will hide/justify their bullying behavior by claiming, 'I just don't like them.', as if that justifies their actions. Trevor is well above average intelligence, he graduated HS early & started at UCLA. He had learned a LOT about the science of baseball & applied it in his unique training regime & during games. He often said back then, 'I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball playing nerd.' He had some unorthodox training methods which were actually scientifically sound, (I am an Exercise Physiologist, by education, using it as the activity science basis of my Sports Medicine education & career. Baseball has never been accepting of unorthodox, even if it's scientifically sound. I learned that first hand. Unorthodox is also is big target for bullies & haters, (what are 'haters' if not bullies w/o the chance to directly bully.) He has a strong moral view of right & wrong, another trait of high intelligence. He ruffled a lot of feathers in the MLB front office when he was outspoken about pitching & foreign substances. Trevor Bauer pissed off the commissioner, who is holding a grudge. His unorthodox methods, above average knowledge of pitching & success triggered haters/bullies, insecure neva' were's, which has led to 'the common wisdom' Trevor is the worst of worst when it comes to baseball, "bad chemistry". I've been following Bauer's career since he signed w/ the Dodgers. His worse offense, IMO, is he acted immaturely, leading to some missteps. As much as he deserves to be playing big league ball, I'm afraid ownership cowardice & conservatism, the commish's vendetta, & baseball's haters & neva' were's

The MLB owners are definitely colluding with each other to keep the young man out of MLB. He has better stuff then half of the SP's on current MLB teams. Best of luck to Trevor on his quest to get back into MLB.

I was able to attend the diablos vs yankees game and honestly, the yankees are missing out a lot, they should sign baur and get them on the MLB again.

A team just needs to give him a chance again. He said he'll play for the league minimum and just wants to pitch again

Los Angeles Dodgers should bring him back. Right where he left off , throwing like a beast!

It's not like he took a knee during the national anthem.

He needs to be pitching in the MLB and if he doesn’t have a contract for next year then he should’ve definitely sue the fuck out of the MLB for damages.

Well said at 3:00. The media is the kingpin so owners are too afraid of the backlash. Bauer is a baller and deserves to pitch at the highest level

Just an FYI: The title of this only represents 30 seconds of the video.

he deserves to play even if hes hated

guy is a great pitcher ....its crazy to me that he beat the False allegations and proved he was innocent but the MLB still gave him the Longest suspension for basicly doing nothing wrong and still dont want him back....nutty how the higher ups can control someones life like this.....

Thats a good point, how do these other guys get to play still? Ozuna gets in trouble yearly it seems like, he just quielty comes back from fighting his wife and knocks in runs for the braves So why cant this guy play, its just personal woth Manfred?

Cole and Bauer need to squash their beef. Bauer should be in pinstripes!

June or July they'll have a need for him. He should be first in line . He'll get a shot, but he must maintain his pre personality. He deserves another shot. Manfred is most likely holding up those offers.

Obviously the MLB owners didn't learn their lesson with collusion back in 87 with Jack Morris and Kirk Gibson, I remember because the Tigers lost them both to free agency due to their the Tigers cheapness, I agree that a line has to be drawn because one cannot just take in a game have a few beers and hotdogs without spending 250 bucks! Bauer makes the game interesting for me, there are so many hotdogs looking for home runs in todays game, good pitchers don't grow on trees, I would love to see him in a nice English D uniform but they have to be colluding, he has matured big time, he is a good kid let him play get every fan in Detroit to flood the owner with requests

the other two guys weren't saying stuff to Manfred

Now that the dust has settled and public opinion is starting to swing Bauer will likely get signed as FA as an injury replacement for one of the team looking to go deep in the playoffs.

Bauer is awesome on momentum!

We need Trevor in Detroit ASAP. Perfect fit

The blacklist is total bogus. TB should definitely be pitching in the MLB.
