I’m not saying you’re wrong cuz I don’t know, but this seems like quite a leap from the info out there.  

Doesn’t seem like beating and anally raping a woman while she is unconscious is much of a leap to murder to me

I wouldn't mind it given he was found not guilty.  While he's a huge creep and asshole, she literally asked for it and came back multiple times.

As of right now, he's not even going to pitch for the next year and a half though.

I believe it is just this year as of now right?  I guess I'm just commenting if he was able to pitch

It's a 324 game suspension actually. None of his time missed prior to the announcement of that counts since he was paid.

And also, is there any source that says they are moving on from him? They wouldn't really have to if they're not paying him anyway.

Not gonna lie, his YouTube channel is entertaining. Who doesn't want to watch a Cy Young winner, in his physical prime, strike out 15 year olds for the lol's.

All personal opinions aside, I think it would be nice to go at least one year without a controversial hire/acquisition with the potential to divide the clubhouse and fanbase. 

To be honest, I wouldn’t want Bauer if the Dodgers DFA’d him and the Sox only had to pay the ML minimum.

Cubs and Houston had to feel scummy with acquiring Chapman and Ozuna for the stretch run.

I wanted no part of Bauer when he was a free agent, and was on the record saying he is a horrendous person and teammate, with enough evidence prior to his signing with the Dodgers.

I don’t disagree with you at all, just trying to make a somewhat objective take about his effect on the team/community for those who believe that he has been exonerated or whatever.

I agreed with both posts, just wanted to go a step further stating even if he gave the Sox a significant SP upgrade for free in terms of payroll, the personal cost is to great to bring into that clubhouse.

And I also agree the team and fan base deserve and need a drama free team in 2023 (and hopefully beyond).

Cheers!

Killing someone (perhaps accidentally) while fulfilling his fantasies is a reasonable worry. He already choked someone until she was unconscious. Murder is a different legal definition. 

And I believe someone can rehab themselves including him. So I believe he can stay out of trouble and lead a solid life. But doesn't get another chance to play MLB baseball. That ship has sailed. I join others who say it would send their loyalty to the team.

Would be a solid #4 option for the Mets, but I don't see them having the stomach for it after the FO chaos over the past few years. 

Would say Texas (Houston/Rangers) are his likely landing spots in terms of teams trying and fanbases willing to accept the baggage. Houston is already considered "a villain", but they may be trying to shed that image. The Rangers have been home of stupid s%*# since inception, so that is the most logical destination with no further inputs.

So he’s able to pitch day 1?

I feel like he’s gonna go to Tampa. Or Houston.

Teams can't help themselves, but I think it's possible he never pitches again.

MLB's response. 

Someone will bring him in. If I had to guess a team like Texas who needs a starter will

Yes, but it does not make the pitcher go away if we do it.

He will absolutely get picked up by a team. I’ll predict the Mets.

Maybe the Sox can sign him to back up Daryl Boston at 1B Coach.

I don’t think they’re going to risk everything else they’re trying to do for this. Isn’t Cohen also trying to get a gambling license with considerable competition, meaning he needs politicians on his side?

If you know then you know.  If you don’t, then you make comments like this.  
 

It’s that simple.
