Congressman Questions MLB's Treatment of Trevor Bauer Over Alleged Political Bias

Rep. Eric Burlison suggests MLB's actions against Bauer may stem from his support for Trump and criticism of league policies, despite lack of criminal charges.

Trevor Bauer, suspended in 2021 for alleged violations of MLB's domestic violence policy, has not returned to the league despite cleared legal cases and reduced suspension.
Rep. Eric Burlison sent a letter to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, questioning whether Bauer's political views influenced his continued exclusion from the league.
Burlison highlighted Bauer's past support for Donald Trump and criticism of MLB policies, including diversity initiatives and league management decisions.
Legal cases against Bauer ended with no criminal charges, and one accuser was later charged with fraud for fabricating evidence against him.
Bauer, a former Cy Young winner, has expressed a desire to return to MLB and offered to play for the league minimum, but no team has signed him since 2021.
