I think is VERY smart to look at a topless girl every day for 30 years! :)
I thought you would like that. :D And they say the Brits can be quite reserved in their demeanour. Then again, I present Benny Hill as the counter argument.
Just saw this today!

No one will touch him - at least not for a trade. That's my prediction. They'll cut him loose and some other team will scoop him up, pay the league minimum for a year while the Dodgers eat the rest.

He's toxic and he has baggage - enough that no one wants to give up prospects and be on the hook for $20M, but not so toxic nor so much baggage that someone won't bolster their rotation for pennies on the dollar. And he'll be happy to sign a 1-year, prove-it deal and be on his best behavior to avoid any more controversy.

Seems like their style. Shades of Osuna.

Imagine if they win another WS with him. Villain franchise right up there with the 1970s Raiders.

No argument with that.

Did you witness the interaction between Trevor Bauer and the woman?

Bauer, the woman and their attorneys in the civil cases (plural) will gather their evidence and likely reach a resolution short of trial. If Bauer's suit and the woman's countersuit go to trial the parties will present their competing evidence and live with the verdicts.

A courtroom is a better venue than a baseball forum to reach those decisions.
No of course I didn't.

Innocent until proven guilty, and he didn't even get charged.

Funny to watch people shift the goalposts to a civil court decision once no criminal charges were filed.

Johnny Depp showed how that can go also. Yet people still rushing to "Guilty until proven innocent".

Preach all you want about the courtroom being the better venue, but tell it to the people assuming guilt. This didn't even reach the courtroom. That's how much merit the case had.
Trevor Bauer shifted the goalposts by initiating his civil suit. The woman merely countersued. Let the civil cases run their course.

Friendly advice: Seek a legal education. You're preaching to a public defender who retired today after 26 years in the courtroom. No need for a lecture on the presumption of innocence. ;)
Congratulations on your retirement harmony. I'm sure it was well earned.

Trevor’s available
Will the Los Angeles Dodgers receive trade offers for Trevor Bauer? Would the Dodgers be willing to pay part of Bauer's salary?
