Do the dodgers bring him back?
Will anyone let him pitch?
Since they have reinstated him, I think the only they could do is DFA him, and then anyone could have him for league minimum.
Not sure if anyone would touch him, but he is still going to get paid.
Should We?
I mean he is the best SP available if he gets cut... he was never convicted in court and he has served and paid dearly for his actuons... How would everyone feel about him in Padres Brown?
It sure would be nice to flip the bird to the LAD and sign him for minimum...
Forgive and forget? Or F that piece of crap and let he and Hosmer collect checks without playing?...
Someone is going to sign him for minimum.. why not us?... thoughts?
Basically, my uncertainty comes from a lack of evidence. I have seen the accusations, I have seen zero evidence. I am not sure accusations with no evidential backing should be enough to end his career
He would sue the MLB and the players Union would too.. He is not a PED 3 strike guy.. he (in the eyes of the law) is an innocent man.. He needs to be given a chance to make a living... He is also someone that marches to his own beat so hard to gage where and I he would pitch.. I think Cleveland would take him back .. he was loved there... we could certainly use him.. But what do his former teammates in Clev say about him.. is he a problem in the clubhouse? Or is he a silly Myers type goof ball to an extreme ...I cant remember these things as he has been out of sight out of mind.. 50 game suspension so like Tatis would come to ST.. then go to Minors and serve the rest of his suspension before he could be added to 40... and thus 26.... Lots of ways this could go...
If the teammate chemistry is deemed to be at least neutral and Manny meets with Siedler and AJP and says "the more the better" ..then "the more the better"...
Padres seem to be high character org.. but in this case how can you judge Bauer's charscter when in the eyes of the law he is an innocent man

Guilty or not Bauer is now radioactive and hasn't pitched in a year and a half.

If the Padres signed Bauer I would no longer be a Padres fan. I would also think the fact that the suspension was reduced, but not overturned means that the panel saw enough evidence to believe some kind of abuse occurred.

Now I got two walk up songs for the man as he takes the mound
"I am an innocent man"
And "Radioactive"
All kidding aside 50 game suspension..minimum wage .. ST and then AA or AAA for 50 very low risk ..high reward type move... taking a gamble on him for these terms almost a "no brainer" IF he wants to pitch for us... now extending him or signing him to a big future deal.. not necessarily a path I want to go.. remember we had a total ass of a SP at one time that led us to a WS... Kevin Brown... Jack Clark was an asshole too and he worked out for various teams ... soooo.. Bauer?.? Sort of a good debate..

He's not suspended for 50 games. His pay is reduced for 50 games. The league's statement makes it pretty clear what they think of him.

Theres a difference between being an asshole like Brown or Clark, and being a sexual criminal/predator. 3 woman accused, he obviously is not a good person. Just because he is not being prosecuted, doesnt mean he didnt do it.
No matter what way you want to spin it, I do not want him on the Padres. And I would bet that Seidler doesnt want him on the team either.

People also seem to forget that he had a history of weaponizing his fan base against and harassing women online before any of the allegations came out. Bauer is and always has been a POS.

It is 💯 a very polarizing argument... For sure. I dont have a view one way or another. I just find it weird that we judge people one way or another even if there is no evidence of wrong doing and punish someone even though (under the law) he is innocent... The MLB had it for him cause he walked to his own drum beat and called it out for various things and subjects.. before during and after these accusations .. Hey of he was guilty accused and jailed for his actions ..its black and white no way no how... But he wasn't so back in a gray area.. I mean Hader said some racist shit that pretty bad and didn't face any punishment like this..and Zach Davies had his own sexual issues and he still P... Bauer (like him/hate him/ despite him ) did nothing wrong (black and white) in accordance to the law.. just gray and unknown to anyone but those directly involved.. sooo?? Again as I type and type .. maybe NOT for Padres is the right call for now.. but I don't believe he should be "blacklisted" from baseball.. per say...

Maybe we could sign DeShaun Watson too…never charged but really?
I would cancel my tickets and never look back
