Accusations of sexual assault were levied against Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer this past June, resulting in the former Cy Young award winner being placed on administrative leave by the MLB while it conducted its own investigation into the allegations. Throughout it all, Bauer has maintained his innocence. On Friday, the MLB announced a 324-game suspension for Bauer, prompting the Dodgers ace, who hasn't pitched in nearly a year, to fire off a tweet.

Unsurprisingly, Bauer has denied that he has committed any violation of the MLB's domestic violence and sexual assault policy, announcing his intention to appeal the 324-game suspension.

The Dodgers pitcher said that he “expects to prevail.” Throughout the legal proceedings, he has filed defamation lawsuits, both against the woman who accused him of assault and against media outlets who covered the allegations.

Bauer signed a three-year, $102 million contract with Los Angeles ahead of the 2021 season after securing the National League Cy Young award with the Cincinnati Reds two years ago.

In 212 career starts, Bauer has accrued a 3.79 ERA with 9.8 strikeouts per nine innings. The suspension is effective immediately and would carry into the 2024 season if Bauer's appeal falls short.

It will be interesting to see what happens, if anything, with Bauer's suspension.
