Former MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer is pushing for reinstatement in Major League Baseball after Pete Rose's recent return. Bauer, currently playing in Japan, has been sidelined from MLB for four years due to sexual assault allegations. He publicly challenged the league, asking if Rose's reinstatement means others, like himself, might also have a shot despite their past issues. Although MLB stated that Bauer is eligible to sign with any team, no offers have materialized; Bauer's comments reflect his frustration towards the leagues' handling of his situation.
Bauer, who is currently pitching in the Nippon Professional Baseball league in Japan, has been out of MLB for four years after sexual assault allegations were raised against him in 2021.
Bauer claimed last fall that it was 'an MLB decision' whether he ever signs with another team, expressing frustration over the league's treatment.
Despite his status as an unrestricted free agent, Bauer is still seeking a return to MLB, questioning the fairness of the leagueâs blackballing.
Bauer wrote on social media questioning, 'So, since Pete is welcome back now, does that go for everyone who has been blackballed?â
