Marcell Ozuna can still play what a joke

Holy ****ing shit.... What the hell did he do that was so much worse than all the other scumbags in sports?

Did I miss something? Wasn't his case thrown out for lack of evidence?

Feel a lawsuit coming.

I wonder if a lot of this is because of the way the whole urias verdugo thing got swept under the rug with the dodgers.

He was an insufferable prick long before this. I can only imagine what they unearthed during the process.

And bonus: his time on adminstrative leave over the past year doesn't even count. So it starts today.

And as a Dodgers fan....I'm at least glad that we're off the hook for his salary.

MLB trying to look good.

Nothing was proven. Ridiculous penalty.

Yeah those shallow-pocket Dodgers :rolleyes:

Has nothing to do with how much money they have. It's paying that much money for a player that doesn't get to play.

He crashed that drone into that tree at Loose Park a few years ago. Maybe those meddling Arbor Day enthusiasts said make an example.

Not a baseballl fan and don't even know who this guy is but how can they suspend him(for any amount of time) if no charges were filed and from the story I read it looks like he even had texts from her where she wanted to have rough sex.

I'm going to to a wild guess and say MLB uncovered plenty we don't know about.

He should have shot someone. Would have only gotten 90 days

There's almost certainly something that's not being released. There's a reason he and the union have been so quiet with the never ending extension of his suspension

MLB found something bad, and they told him to serve his time and be quiet or it will all come out.

He allegedly choked a chick out, who then woke up to him ass ****ing her.

Not surprised the moron contingent of CP doesn’t get the suspension.

YOUR AVY IS HORRIBLE! NO MOAR POSTS FOR YOU

Because that’s how consent works. If you sign up for one thing, you sign up for the whole ride:

**** off.

Then she went out the next day with him. He got text messages of her telling her friends she about to get a huge pay day.

Yeah, that part is important.

Just a reminder of the issues going on in LA. Maybe there's more to the Bauer story. Or maybe this is also a make up call for their institutional failure on these issues in the past. Or maybe it's both.

I chose my words carefully.

It’s quite clear this is the answer.

Police literally walked in on Marcell Ozuna strangling his wife and he didn’t even miss a full year. They’re not suspending a dude of Bauer’s caliber for 2 years if there’s not something serious going on.

Sounds like a wild night in Belize.

What's interesting is how MLB can get away with keeping important information secret from the law.

:hmmm:

That's kind of the point of consent.

Three factors worked against Bauer here, and none of them involve his alleged 'crime' (kinky sex with an extortionist).

#1 This allows the Dodgers to get out of the contract without having to pay anything. That's the biggest factor. The Dodgers didn't want to keep Bauer and they're the big spender of the entire league.

#2 Additionally, Manfred had a really good baseball reporter fired because he wrote very mildly critical things about Manfred (Ken Rosenthal). Bauer has been outspoken in his criticism of Manfred and MLB so it doesn't surprise me they went for the blackball card. Just a spite move.

#3 Racism also seems to have played a factor, as there are many examples of diverse domestic violence offenders across baseball that have had very light punishments in comparison (Ozuna got what, 20 games)? And they legit did bad things (2 police witnessed Ozuna beat his wife), whereas Bauer committed no crime at all.

"Just stay quiet if you want me to PIIYB".

"......."

"Alright!!!!!"

Perhaps they’re just getting ahead of something that they know is going to come out?

This is very odd timing otherwise. Will be interesting to see how Bauer responds. If he rolls over it obviously means there’s something else going on.

He's already said he's appealing it.

Yeah, allegedly.

As in not proven.

Which is why plenty of people across all spectrums are questioning the harshness of the penalty.

Go back to Belize.

That would be rape. I'm not seeing any rape charges. Did I miss them?

The cops were caught lying on their body cams about what happened to Ozuna, so as much as you'd like to make it about some kind of reverse discrimination, that claim holds absolutely no water.

That’s why you stick to the massage parlors. Zero suspension, maybe 4-5 games, and guarantee $200MM.

ROFL

You seem triggered for something that has not been proven to be true and from what I read isn't true at all. There could be more to the story but not from what I read.

I could care less either way.

Robert Kraft approves this post.

yet Deshaun Watson got a massive, fully-guaranteed contract

Only humorless idiots don't get sarcasm. :harumph:

That might deserve a new thread.

None of this would have happened if he pretended to take a chick to Belize

WOW

So why was he suspended? It sounds like the whole initial thing was thrown out years ago.

He questioned Manfred for alot of things..didn't like him and MLB like NFL can suspend for player conduct without any conviction.

Basically Manfred had an ax to grind and used it.

Congrats on having sex!

Also, I can’t imagine just taking a woman at her word for something like this.

I'd go after everyone with a wrongful termination (suspension) lawsuit, including MLB/Manfred & the Dodgers

Good luck the MLB like the NFL has a ton of wiggle room with player conduct suspensions.

He's got $60MM reasons to do so (I think that's what he lost?)

Yeah, MLB may just want to pay that and make him go the **** away. Bauer is not one I'd be wanting to go against publicly.

It was only $37.5 million. And what were the Dodgers supposed to do? Pay him to sit out his suspension?

I get their play, but it was pretty obvious it was a targeted suspension. It also destroyed his career because if anyone signs him people will lose their minds.

Was not suspending him not an option?

Well no cause Manfred holds grudges, he basically got Bauer blackballed and it's what he wanted.

Sure thing….because the Dodgers chose to suspend him. They cut him because of the suspension and the accusations against him. It’s not like they had the information he just released.

What would the Dodgers have to do with that?

I believe he still got paid.

At this point he's probably best served to keep his head down. Shit, the pitching market is AWFUL. He should see if there's a 1-year deal to be had out there somewhere.

Dude exited the game as possibly the best RHP out there.

EDIT:

Looks like he got docked for almost all of his 2022 salary and about 1/3 of his 2023 pay. So he got about $64 million of the $102 million due on his deal.

Hmm....$40 million ain't asswipe money. But as has been noted, the player conduct shit is so broad. That's a tough mountain to climb.

And he’s sucked in Japan the last two years.

Okay, he got a little better, but started off super poorly.

Hell, may not even be about the money for him, more the principle of just publicly clearing his name while dragging Manfred and the MLB. He seems like the type of guy that would be spiteful enough to air out dirty laundry even if it is mutually assured destruction.

Oh don't worry according to a lot of people he's still a piece of shit so **** him...

Not sure I get that attitude.

Super ****ed up. People still act like he's a piece of shit. That cesspool Reddit talks major shit on him.

LMAO They're too cowardly to even allow a post about it.

She should be sentenced to a lifetime career as Deshaun Watson’s masseuse.

Jesus Christ. I know South Park was being satirical in that episode where PC principal had him and his hookup sign consent forms before a one night stand, but athletes and people of status might be at the point where their attorneys advise for it.

When I read almost any reddit post I imagine a 300lb, anime shirt wearing 22 year old transgender named Chez from New Jersey.

How can there not be massive criminal liability for making false claims like that? I'd be fine with having her executed.

It's so ****ed. Dude got blacklisted and his name drug through the mud, because "how dare anyone not 100% believe any woman that says they were sexually assaulted." I mean you're not even allowed to be like "I'll wait to see what evidence comes out." Just look in this thread.

Maybe I will eat my words on this, but I also think the Wander Franco case is ****ed up based on the flimsy evidence posted online about him. That case totally looks like a cash shakedown, too.

Franco apparently has multiple under age accusations is where that kinda falls apart.

Bauers biggest crime is in general people don't like him. So when it happened no one backed him up, shit his Dodger teammates wanted him gone.

Commissioner grinded the ax and the Dodgers were glad to be rid of him.

Him being an insufferable prick was why I just went along with the headlines and assumed he’d be found guilty, too.

I need to be better about that.

I mean being a douchebag doesn't make you a rapist.

100%. I admit I didn’t really examine the specifics of the case. I just saw the headlines and went “what a dick.”

An area of growth for me, for sure.

Believe all women, right? #metoo

:doh!: :shake:

Derp

I mean that shit is all over social media of people saying it doesn't matter what he posted etc etc.

The worst offender in all of this is Molly Knight. She was the Athletic reporter that covered it...she had documents that said the girls skull wasn't fractured...she ran the story that it was anyway.

On top of that she deleted all of her Bauer tweets and protected her account when his video went up.

She knows she her career and her finances are about to get absolutely hammered Covington Catholic style.

And it’s 100% deserved.
