Trevor Bauer is accusing the Los Angeles Dodgers’ leadership of misleading him.
The Dodgers on Friday announced that they are designating Bauer for assignment (DFA). The announcement was made on the final day the Dodgers had to add Bauer to their active roster following his reinstatement by MLB last month from a suspension.
Bauer issued a statement Friday in response to the Dodgers’ decision. The statement, which was shared with Larry Brown Sports and other media outlets, accused the Dodgers of misleading the pitcher.
“While we were unable to communicate throughout the administrative leave and arbitration process, my representatives spoke to Dodgers leadership immediately following the arbitration decision,” Bauer said in his statement. “Following two weeks of conversations around my return to the organization, I sat down with Dodgers leadership in Arizona yesterday who told me that they wanted me to return and pitch for the team this year.
