Trevor Bauer will rejoin the Yokohama DeNA BayStars for the 2024 Nippon Professional Baseball season. After a successful 2023, where he recorded a 2.76 ERA over 130 2/3 innings, he previously played in Mexico's Diablos Rojos del Mexico, achieving a 2.48 ERA. Bauer's MLB career was marred by allegations of sexual assault, which led to a short tenure with the Dodgers. In 2021, the DA's office opted not to pursue criminal charges, noting insufficient evidence. This new signing reflects his ongoing career evolution in Japan.
The Yokohama DeNA BayStars have agreed to sign right-hander Trevor Bauer, marking his return to NPB after a successful 2023 season with a 2.76 ERA.
Bauer's career includes a successful season in MLB, winning the NL Cy Young Award in 2020, but his tenure with the Dodgers was cut short by serious allegations.
Bauer's return to Nippon Professional Baseball follows his brief stint in the Mexican League, as he navigates his transitional career after MLB.
Despite allegations impacting his MLB career, a California judge denied a restraining order against Bauer in 2021, and the DA's office declined to pursue charges.
