On its face, sounds like there was a rush to judgment. Wonder if he makes it back to the US soon.

[G1911]

Rush to judgement to say the least, the accuser's own phone evidence proved she was lying. As I recall it, a majority in the last thread on this didn't care because it's more convenient to an agenda that he be guilty, the facts and evidence (or complete lack thereof) be damned.

He is also not liked by many people for his out spoken nice and his abrasive attitude.
So when this occurred it made it easy for him to be found 100% guilty.
What this means for his mlb future unsure.
But I think many teams would avoid him and his baggage and this will still be baggage to many

This guy is a dirtbag (independent of the fact that he likes to beat up women) and is widely hated in the MLB by fans and players alike. Like Wander Franco, his MLB career is over.

MLB more than any other sport is trying to present a clean family product. Their stance on PED, domestic violence, onfield tobacco use, etc. really makes the Bauer case fall into that narrative. I personally think the gambling affiliations will muddy those efforts. But I don't believe Bauer or Franco will be back in MLB for the next 3-5 years, if ever.

He might be vindicated in the eyes of the courts, but he is not vindicated within MLB who are trying to integrate women coaches and front office staff. They are getting their own baseball cards. The two narratives existing side by side would be problematic.

Personally, IMO, this just plays in with the 100+ year history of the sport. Owners have always wanted an outward appearance of clean, wholesome sport. And they get upset when their desires are muddied by average human beings.

There are other accusations from other women. At the very least, he's still a scumbag who enjoys subjecting women to graphic violence during sex, consensual or not.

Good riddance.
