Trevor Bauer's next stop: An Atlantic League opening night start with the Long
Island Ducks
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) --- Former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer has signed
with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League and is scheduled to pitch
opening night on April 21 for the minor league team.
The Ducks announced the signing Thursday for Bauer's 15th professional season.
Bauer also will be "Mic'd Up" for all games and practices, helping create
content for both his and the team's outlets.
Bauer has been trying to revive his big-league career after serving a 194-game
suspension for violating MLB's domestic violence, sexual assault and child
abuse policy. He was never charged with a crime in the matter, and civil claims
against him were settled.
"I'm looking forward to competing in front of U.S. fans again this season,"
Bauer said in a statement. "The Ducks have had some incredible players come
through their organization, and I'm excited to be part of that tradition."
Bauer was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers in January 2023 and the
right-hander pitched in Japan last year.
He signed a five-game contract with the Diablos Rojos of Mexico City last year
before agreeing to stay for the reminder of the season. Bauer was named the
Mexican Baseball League's pitcher of the year last September.
