Police in Southern California have confirmed that they are investigating allegations of an attack on Trevor Bauer, a Los Angeles Dodgers star thrower.
Lt. Bill Grisafe, a spokesman for the Pasadena Police Department, said late Tuesday that the woman accused Bauer, 30, of attacking her in or around the city on May 16, and that the department began investigating the allegations shortly thereafter.
“The Dodgers were aware of the allegations against Trevor Bauer late in the afternoon,” Dodgers said in a statement issued late Tuesday, “and immediately contacted Major League Baseball, which will address the issue. Dodgers takes all allegations of this nature very seriously, but for now will have no further comments. “
On Tuesday, the woman filed a request with the Los Angeles County High Court for a temporary ban on approaching domestic violence against Bauer.
Marc H. Garelick, a lawyer representing the woman, said in a statement via email that his client sought and obtained a warrant for a “recent attack by Mr. Bauer” in which she said she suffered “strong physical and emotional bol. “
Bauer denied any illegality in his agent Jon Fetterolf’s statement, saying he and the prosecutor had a “short and fully consensual sexual relationship” that amounted to two encounters and was initiated by the woman in April.
In a statement sent by e-mail, Fetterolf said that Bauer had messages that show that the woman asked to be strangled and slapped during the meeting.
According to a statement from Fetterolf, Bauer and the woman had not spoken for at least a month and had not seen each other for more than six weeks.
During the 2020 shortened pandemic, Bauer posted 1.73 earned averages over 73 innings with the Cincinnati Reds to win his first Cy Young award. Over the winter, Bauer, who also played for Arizona and Cleveland, signed a contract with the Dodgers for free agents for three years and a guaranteed $ 102 million.
