What’s Going to Happen to These Infamous “Banned” Players? 

I'm sure this is going to be a completely normal and reasonable comment section

Crazy how someone like Bauer gets blackballed but someone like Ozuna, with all the proof and problems, is still playing.

I do find Trevor Bauer annoying, but I do think someone should sign him. He was annoying in 2019, but I thought he was a good pitcher. I do like this outspokenness, even if the league doesn’t.

Bauer: he'll be back Urias: he'll serve punishment then come back Franco: hes done

It’s ridiculous the way Bauer is being treated the same as scum such as Urias and Franco. Ozuna and Chapman are two guys who did way worse than Bauer and barely faced any punishment compared for what the MLB did to Bauer.

Awesome video man, love the concept

The idea that Bauer is a bad teammate is a complete fabrication. Yokohama had no problems with him and they hope that he comes back. He mentored young pitchers in Japan and helped them develop new pitches and enhance already established ones. This is all a political issue in Bauer's case!

😮imagine if LAD still having Bauer and Urias on their team, they would have the best 5/6 man rotating the the history of MLB. Ohtani, Yamamoto, Bauer, Urias, Miller, Bhueler, heck even throw in Kershaw 🤣

Wander (if ruled guilty in an actual court) is screwed, Urias is a PR nightmare. Trevor deserves another look especially since his main case turned out to be totally fabricated to make Trevor look bad.

That was a completely reasonable and fair look at these cases. Nice work!

Ozuna just hit 40 hrs and Chapman won a World Series. Bauer needs to be signed

Franco and Urias should in no way ever be in mlb again. With everything that has come out about the franco situation its an almost guarantee he will never be in baseball again. Urias has twice been suspected of DV which is why I think he'll never be in again. Bauer is a harder case. If it was just 1 case he would probably be back but the fact that there is 4 cases against him is what makes me think he'll never be back. But also I could see a team desperate for pitching signing him since he hasnt been arrested.

Bauer should be playing for the mlb right now. Hopefully the twins sign him

I hope Trevor and Eric are a package deal for the Red Sox next year. I’d even watch a game or two again.

Bauer's entire situation seems like a money grab against him. Nothing illegal about liking freaky sex, he just needs to find freaky partners that won't make a fraudulent money grab. Thought MLB way overstep on him.

I support Bauer in returning to the MLB

Bauer is 33! He can still pitch & would cost nexta nothing why not?!

Trevor was acquitted and proven innocent. Let him pitch.

Bauer is innocent

Hi. I love your videos!!! they always inspire me!

Let’s see. There’s video evidence showing Urias is guilty. There’s video evidence Bauer is innocent. The fact Wander skipped town doesn’t bode well.

If there were no clubhouse issues in Japan, a culture that he knows zero about, then there should be no issue here at home. Like Trevor would be the only one to be an upstart. MLB doesn't like his independent thinking. Yeah, he may be a loudmouth. But everyone on a team is there to play baseball. And if anyone wants chemistry issues yet winners, the 1970s Yankees and As should answer any questions. (There's an immutable characteristic about Trevor that makes a huge difference between Chapman, Ozuna, etc and him that IMO is the main thing precluding him coming back vs the others. Two others that obviously abused others yet are back...)

Something to add about Bauer's social media... adventures, is that he's still his own worst enemy. Not sure if you were aware (maybe because of the date of the recording?), but Bauer seems to have made his PR effort in Japan somewhat useless with yet another incident. To the point where his only option might be playing for SoftBank, a team that doesn't care about PR.

Update on Urias. The LA district attourney will not file charges felony charges against Urias and their statement differs from TMZ reports.

Bauer should come back

a man who you can find pictures of him choking his girlfriend on the internet got 10 million for the 2024 season.... during the same altercation he shot a handgun at a wall nine times. he got approximately half a season suspension for this action. Another pitcher who was suspended half a season for domestic assault only got ejected from the league because he chose to forego surgery on his injured elbow which was a decision which voided his contract with one of the MLB teams. The league has other offenders still playing.....

So Bauer cannot deny climate change to play in the MLB? WTF?

Trevor Bauer is a strange guy, his worst enemy, and is punished in an extremely harsh way by his team and the league without much on which to rely. The attitude, "I don't care that the allegation is true or false," says that the MLB players association let a lot of the red flags pass, saying that there is not much love for him. What is said in public is very different from what is said in private!! I can't imagine Ty Cobb and so many baseball legends playing in this PR era!!

I wander when he realized that it was no longer a minor situation

It’s crazy how many people spread hate and misinformation about people just because someone else said something. And it’s the same three, four people too!

Breaking News - Trevor Bauer and Eric Sim are coming to the Chicago Cubs 🐻🐻 Seriously I would pick up a pinstripe SIm jersey asap if it happend lol

Clearly the pay isn't an issue with Bauer. Teams could get him for rookie middle reliever price.

I’m sure that within the next 14 years we’ll know the answer as to who will be allowed back

You’re right about Trevor I believe. I am his biggest advocate. I know he was treated unfairly by the league after being horribly and unfairly accused of a terrible thing. And I know from personal experience how being bullied as a kid can affect you in adulthood. I really understand him. But if he want back on that MLB mound he has to stop with the rants on social, even the gravelling to play for league minimum, get into Thearapy and get involved heavily in a charity of some sort, he would be eventually allowed back. Unfortunately he’d also have to stop espousing anything that could be remotely construed as a right wing view. That to me is really unfair. But unless you’re Left leaning you’re not allowed that particular free speech luxury and a job of that profile. Being open about Conservative views is precisely the ONLY reason why Curt Schilling will never be in the Hall of Fame although he deserves it as much as anyone that’s been inducted since the first class.

Can you do a video on Arodis Chapman I love your content man

The information provided in this video (as far as I could tolerate it) seems well-researched and objective. However, the constant "upspeak" after every utterance caused me to move on before finishing out of sheer annoyance.

I'm sure the biggest and brighest star in baseball could never end up in a situation like this.

The trevor thing is insane. At first i thought "okay sure he did that a ban is warranted" then once the first set of texts got revealed I was surprised. I mean she did literally ask for it. But when the second set if tect came out showing this was planned from the start my mind was blown and thr MLB owes that man an apology but it wont happen. This is in the conspiracy side if things but i think the MLB is who paid for her lawyers, i also bet the MLB was behind it from the very beginning. The timing was oddly suspicious since it happened a few weeks after Trevor outed the MLB for allowing foreign substances with pitching. Makes you wonder... Oh also they "unbanned" trevor but they (the MLB) went to every team and said "do not pickup Trevor or there will be hell to pay" and thats why he wasn't able to sign with any team. Its so scummy.

pretty sure the LA DA declined to press felony charges against Urias like 2 weeks ago

Im suprised bauer isnt already back, hes at the very best innocent and very worst reformed

Franco is toast.

7:25 there's no way you used that as an example of ranting lol. He was grieving a family member's passing ffs

Jail Wander forever

Urias also wont face any charges I dont believe. I thought the LA prosecuting attorneys dropped the charges. Not saying he should be back tho

I think Urias is the most likely of the 3 to return to the MLB. His situation seems similar to the Jose Reyes or Arnolds Chapman incident. Bauer is a bit more tricky not just due to the legal issues but because he is a very difficult personality in the clubhouse. I don't think there is a remote chance Franco returns to the MLB because due to his crime, it is highly unlikely he can even get back to the United States, regardless on how long the sentence is.

Comparing Bauer with people like Franco and Urias is ridiculous.

Uh, “will he stop debating climate change?” I didn’t know he did that, but take a minute and think, you said how smart Bauer is at the start of the part about him but as soon as he questions climate change that’s a problem for mlb execs? I don’t think they care about that. That seems like something you care about

Trevor Bauer was the victim of extortion

The Braves had Maddox, hear about his stories.. he’s a pitcher…

Bauer would be back if Manfred didn't have a stick up his ass about him chiding him on Twitter for ignroing cheating scandals and not listening to players

Dude it came out like a week ago that urias wont face felony charges

Nice hat

Putting Bauer in the category of players guilty of a crime is so wrong. Bauer is controversial but he’s innocent of any criminal wrongdoing.

The Bauer blacklisting is disgusting. He's never played for my team so I have no emotional attachment to him whatsoever, but what is happening to him is a disgrace to the game.

Dude good to see your face but you could put a little effort into your atmosphere.

I don’t see how Bauer would be in this video

If you were wrongly accused and banned from MLB, would you still want to play for them? Hell no. I wouldn’t blame Bauer if he doesn’t want to come back.

the royals or the angels should sign bauer

Franco definitely did swing in the Minor's

Bauer is bigger than the MLB.

As an Englishman I'm probably wrong here, but to me Bauer seems to be hated for being right of centre in his politics. When he joined the Dodgers (the team I've been a fan of for decades) the bleeding LA liberals on Dodgers social media hated him. Combine that with his sex life, in which no crimes have been committed according to local police, it seems to me that a talented pitcher will never play at the highest level again. It's the same in the UK, people in the public domain are scared to represent as anything but left wing and woke regardless of their actual political beliefs. The few that do raise their heads above the parapet are immediately assaulted with the lefty journalist's equivalent of a GPMG. Seems to me Bauer was a chap that thought outside of the box, whether it be in his day job or his private life, and has been slaughtered in the media for those beliefs.

If the stuff about Franco is true he should be in jail and never touch a baseball again. Urias is gonna be done for with this being his second offense and a felony charge. Bauer does have the most ability to play again but if the money makers (owners, presidents, gms) don’t like him, it won’t happen.

"his mother and two brothers" made it sound like the Aybar's are Wander's brothers. But they're his uncles. His mother and her two brothers 😅

Trevor Bauer should be on a team. Dude did nothing wrong and it was proven. Yeah most people don’t like his attitude, but he’s still a good pitcher. He shouldn’t have to pay for something he didn’t do. That’s what’s wrong with this world, people who are basically acquitted of wrong doing get in more trouble, get the cold shoulder more than guys who have been in actual trouble.

Bauer will be back Franco and Urias will never play again

Cincy, please sign Bauer & Chapman.

All launched into Uranus.

Trevor needs to be let back for mistaken punishment

Bauer is 100 blacklisted for shining a spotlight on the mlbs dirty little spider tack problem. Manfred will never forgive that

Bauer deserves better

What about yasiel puig

I would be happy to see Bauer a Blue Jay

How are you perplexed by Bauer not returning. your answer has and has always been crybaby rob manfred

Presumed innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.

One of these is not like the others...

Bauer will sign with the KC Royals this year. Watch.

Too bad this video came out 2 weeks before the PBD/bauer interview

What do you think resent news that many npb teams don't want him now?

Bauer 100% clear and MLB clubs absolutely stupid not signing him

Bro the thumbnail 🧐😭

Go Ducks!!

In the case of Wander Franco, this is the Dominican Republic; you can buy your jail out card without a doubt, but it will be expensive, perhaps too expensive. In reality, everything depends on whether Tampa wants his player back and guarantees his contract. With that kind of money, he can be free before June this year, and whether or not he did it, of course he did it; it is something quite common in the country, and he is only 7-8 years older than her; on average, it is more or less 10 years, and yeah, that means a lot of 40's, 50's, and 60's year old men with 12-14 year old girls!!

Tbh, if Franco doesn’t get convicted and he was basically just targeted, that will become one of the saddest stories because he’ll never recover

the way you stretch out the last vowel in the sentence is at first annoying then becomes pleasant to hear. we have a drinking game where u take a shot for every sentence you don’t stretch out the final word

Bauer is gonna come back

Wander Franco and Julio Urias won’t ever be allowed back in the majors again. Trevor Bauer might get another chance.

Puig?

Man the dbacks give all the good pitchers away. Bauer Cole scherzer lol… probably more …

Just to clarify Bauer just turned 33 not 34.

For the love of all that is holy, please, SIGN TREVOR BAUER TO THE ORIOLES! It's time. We need an ace. The O's need him now. He will take the team deep into post season. Thank you!!

The only reason Bauer is stilled considered blackball & treated as such is bc he speaks out against the MLB office on many of its in game decisions. His life was screwed over by a gold digger, who saw an opportunity to ruin a successful man.

Wait was is this Bauer had the girl call police after sex? Is that what I heard? Makes sense for high profile people to do, but how do they consider coercion calls? Or maybe I misheard and spent so much time typing that I can't remember how far I to the video I was when It was said . Too into urias story now to go back.

Deviants

Bauer has been blackballed by Manfred I think Urias and Ozuna are the same, repeated offenders And Franco is the worst, he should never return to the MLB again

I would rank the likelihood of these three playing in MLB again as: 1. Trevor Bauer - He needs enough of a PR campaign in his favour. It might be hard, considering that many didn't like him even before the accusations. Personally, I dislike him as a person, but still believe he may have gotten unjustly robbed of his career. Even annoying dipshits don't deserve what he got. 2. Julio Urías - Marcell Ozuna hit over 40 home runs with the Braves last year, but with Urías, I just don't think he'll be back. He's clearly got issues. Get him some serious mental health support for his anger. He's done some pretty awful stuff, but the optimist in me hopes he can turn his life around and become a better person. 3. Wander Franco - Nope, never. Crimes against children are the worst versions of any crimes. If this ever happens, there isn't the slimmest hope of any kind of rehabilitation, and even if there was, forgiveness is not deserved.

Let's not forget that the woman literally lied about bauers allegations

Found the latest Glory Hound inserting himself into the video for no reason besides being a glory hound. Let's take away the interesting visuals to insert a kids face instead. You had it right before. "Dont recommend channel" Ill stick to Baseball Doesnt Exist where the content is the focus.

Bring Bauer back he did not do anything

It’s sad that Trevor probably won’t return to league because he didn’t even do anything which sucks the others actually did things so they shouldn’t return but Trevor didn’t do anything

Trevor was wrongfully accused and proven innocent
