Kasten, Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, general manager Brandon Gomes and executive vice president Lon Rosen met with a small group of local reporters on Wednesday, nearly three weeks after Bauer's release, in part to address lingering questions about a topic the organization had yet to speak about publicly.
Kasten didn't want to go into specifics about the meeting, though other sources with the team have previously disputed Bauer's account. Bauer, 32, appealed the decision, triggering an arbitration process that played out in small increments over the course of eight months. On Dec. 22, independent arbitrator Martin Scheinman trimmed Bauer's suspension to 194 games, reinstating him immediately while docking his pay for the remaining 50 games at the start of the 2023 regular season. At that point, the Dodgers had 14 days to release him or add him to the roster.
"There were no games we were playing," Kasten said. "We had the time. Check all our bases, get all the info you could get to make a decision, which we did, and that included hearing from Trevor because we had not spoken to him since the beginning of this. And because we had the time, we took the time to get as much info as we can to be sure we were making the right decision. That's what we did. We feel like we made the right decision. And we'll move on.
Kasten added: "You know, this wasn't unanimous out in the real world -- among fans, among the media or whatnot. But the decision we reached was unanimous among the people that are charged with having to make this decision."
he’a better than yall anyway , I bet he is more successful away from the toxic dodgers .
