Trevor Bauer willing to take MLB’s lowest salary to find new suitor
Trevor Bauer was baseballs highest salaried player in 2022 at $45 million. Now hes trying to secure an MLB job for the minimum.
Bauer, who served baseballs longest domestic violence suspension (194 games), is offering to accept MLBs lowest salary of $740,000 (plus incentives). But though seven or eight teams are still communicating with Bauers people, led by baseball agent/lawyer Jon Fetterolf, no one has signed him yet.
This isnt about the money, Fetterolf said. Really, what hes looking for is only a chance and an opportunity.

And if anything goes awry, Fetterolf added, You can get rid of him at the minimum.
Bauer vehemently fought the accusations and original 324-game MLB ban, saying hed done nothing wrong, and though the ban was reduced 130 games by an independent arbitrator, it remained the longest suspension under the domestic violence policy in MLB history. Now he is trying to rebuild his image.
Its a mixed jobs record overall for players returning from such suspensions. But Bauer, whos expressed remorse for the ordeal in recent interviews, may be hurt, too, by a previous reputation for arrogance. Many were able to resume MLB careers after serving suspensions, some have had to move their careers overseas.
Trevor Bauer played last season in Japan with the Yokohama BayStars. API really feel like hes done everything he can possibly do, Fetterolf said. This isnt a guy charged with a crime. Yes, he was suspended, but he served his suspension.
Of course, Bauer is the extreme case, with the longest ban weighing against the talent of a former Cy Young winner its a calculation of publicity vs. production. One team higher-up told me a year ago that to employ Bauer youd have to be from another planet. More recently, a couple execs suggested he may need another year in Japan.
Yet, considering the desperation for pitching talent, its surprising to some no ones taken him up on his offer yet.
