Mookie, Mookie, Mookie.
If you wish to metaphorically throw a trash can by way of a window, at the least achieve this for an individual who was truly wronged. Talking out in favor of Trevor Bauer is a waste of oxygen and vocal twine vibrations.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Instances’ Invoice Shaikin, not solely did Betts say that he hopes an MLB group will signal Bauer this offseason, but additionally “I really like him. I believe he’s an superior man.”
Regarding the violation of MLB’s home violence and sexual assault coverage for which an unbiased arbitrator dominated that Bauer deserved a 194-game suspension — the longest in league historical past for such an offense — “The non-public issues? I’ve no management,” Betts mentioned to Shaikin. “I’ve no say. Clearly, nothing got here from it”
Nothing got here from it aside from a historic 194-game suspension, which the arbitrator diminished from the 324 video games that Commissioner Rob Manfred had initially issued.
C’mon Mookie. You need to be higher than this. In a world through which it’s so troublesome for justice to be served for sexual assault and home violence, this unbiased arbitrator handed down a harsh ruling. Nothing is the alternative of the phrase that needs to be used to explain Bauer’s “private issues.”
Sure, the arbitrator did rule in December 2022 that since Bauer had been on administrative go away since July 2021 he was eligible to play firstly of the 2023 season. Nevertheless, had a group signed Bauer, or the Los Angeles Dodgers saved him, he would have been docked pay for the primary 50 video games of the 12 months.
There are numerous folks on this world way more worthy of talking up for in public than Trevor Bauer. Mookie, sooner or later, use your phrases to elevate them up as a substitute of a man that your league threw the guide at.
