TREVOR BAUER'S AGENT SLAMS THE MLB OVER BAUER'S BLACKBALL

Trevor Bauer is an elite pitcher, plain and simple. A Cy Young winner, a dominant force on the mound, and a player who should be in the majors right now. But let’s be clear—this wasn’t about justice, integrity, or anything MLB claims to stand for. This was a personal hit job. Rob Manfred and his pathetic circle of cronies should be ashamed of themselves. They didn’t punish Bauer because of some grand moral stance—they punished him because he had the audacity to call out their incompetence.

MLB has made one thing clear: if you’re a "controversial" player who speaks your mind, you’ll get the hammer. If you stay quiet, take your punishment, and wait for your turn, you’ll get a slap on the wrist. That’s the game. And Bauer refused to play along and I respect the way Bauer is. He’s loud, he’s opinionated, and—most importantly—he’s right. That’s why he’s still blackballed.

Let’s break this down. Bauer was accused of domestic violence, but never faced criminal charges. Despite that, he was hit with the longest non-lifetime suspension in MLB history—324 games, two full seasons, without pay. 

Meanwhile, let’s talk about Julio Urías. Urías was arrested in 2019 on suspicion of domestic battery. His punishment? A measly 20-game suspension. Then, in 2023, Urías was once again accused of assaulting his partner. His punishment? He’ll be back in MLB by July 2025, free to sign with any team.

So, let’s get this straight—Bauer, who was never convicted, gets effectively erased from baseball, while Urías, a repeat offender, gets a clear path back? What an absolute joke.

Rachel Luba, Bauer’s agent, wasn’t having any of it. When news broke of Urías', she took to social media and said exactly what needed to be said: "A clear example that this was ALWAYS personal." And she’s 100% right. This was never about enforcing fair punishment. This was about sending a message: challenge Rob Manfred and his weak leadership, and you’ll be erased.

MLB’s handling of Bauer is not just unfair—it’s corrupt. Bauer served his time for something that was never even proven, while others get a free pass because they know how to play the game behind the scenes. It’s disgraceful.

Trevor Bauer should be on an MLB roster. The fact that it had nothing to do with justice and everything to do with a cowardly commissioner who can’t handle criticism. Rob Manfred and his MLB cronies have turned the league into a joke. And everyone paying attention knows it.
