"I agreed to do things I shouldn’t have done” - Trevor Bauer admits to ‘mistakes’ in latest interview as he seeks MLB comeback 

Trevor Bauer is looking to make a big-league comeback. He hopes the league will give him a second chance after he was suspended and eventually released in 2022.

Bauer was in deep water for an alleged assault incident. In July 2021, Lindsey Hill came forward accusing him of assault on two different occasions during allegedly consensual sexual encounters.

After being let go by the Dodgers, he settled in Japan, signing a contract with the NPB. Now, after a year of staying out of the spotlight, Bauer has opened up about the incident on America's Newsroom.

"I agreed to do things I shouldn't have done. It was reckless. It hurt a lot of people along the way," stated Bauer.

Bauer saw this as a chance to shed some light on the situation and put everything out on the table. He said he understood he did things he should not have, and took responsibility for it.

"I've done a lot of reflecting on that, and made a lot of changes in my life to address that. Not having casual sexual relationships, for example," stated Bauer.

Bauer has never backed down from saying he had a sexual relationship with Lindsay Hill, but he maintains that he has never sexually assaulted anyone. He believes the justice system will clear his name of any wrongdoing.

Before his suspension, Trevor Bauer had the world at his fingertips. He was coming off a Cy Young Award season and signed a three-year, $102 million deal with the Dodgers. The allegations were a gut punch to the organization, which had no choice but to let him go.

Now, Bauer is a free agent and is looking to make a return to the big leagues. He and his agents have talked to a few teams, but he has stated free agency is a finicky thing.

Nothing is stopping him from returning to the league, so any team is free to sign him. However, one could imagine the team that signs him will take some slack from fans.

Trevor Bauer brings outside drama that any team would likely not want to deal with. The baseball season is hard enough without having to answer tough questions about a teammate.
