“Playing in the NPB has always been a dream of mine and I can’t think of a better organization to do it with," Bauer said in a statement Monday, referring to Nippon Professional Baseball.

Crossing the "t's" and dotting the "i's" here, although I am REALLY surprised that he got a contract here. I guess they really don't care about his reputation, proven or otherwise.

No MLB team would even give him the time of day, but I guess the BayStars dont care.

This guy is totally going to mess up the Baystars' Wa.

Which is something they gotta have.

In February 2022, Los Angeles prosecutors decided not to charge Bauer for allegedly beating and sexually abusing the San Diego woman because they said they were unable to prove her accusations beyond a reasonable doubt.

> The woman, who was 27 at the time, said Bauer choked her into unconsciousness, punched her repeatedly and sexually assaulted her during two sexual encounters.

I understand "kinky" but this..... No thanks.

Yeah right. It's been his dream since his agent told him no other MLB team was interested in having a player with his off-field history.

Earsay, he actually posted his name on Twitter in Hiragana years ago and has posted Japanese related content for a while. Maybe check sources before posting foolishness.

Allegations aside, he also has a history of being a clubhouse cancer. as well. I will be at the Hanshin Tigers season opener vs DENA. I wonder if it will be him pitching as their ace Imanaga will be coming back from the WBC not too long before that.

Wow, and I posted my name in Arabic on twitter back around 9/11, does that make me interested in being a terrorist?

Maybe like share links to back up what you say, otherwise it's meaningless as if that's all it takes to "dream" of playing in a foreign country it's BS.

1) why tf are you assuming that anyone with an Arabic name wants to be a terrorist?

2) Bauer’s name on his IG and Twitter were in Katakana years before this happened. Why do you need a link? It’s not that hard you casual.

3) Read the damn article. It is not that other MLB teams don’t want him. he is SUSPENDED.
