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 will wear a mic 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.
Bauer was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers in January 2023. The right-hander
pitched in Japan in 2023 and ?25, sandwiched around one season with Diablos
Rojos in the Mexican Baseball League in '24.
"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 4-10 with a 4.41 ERA with Yokohama last year. He was named the
Mexican Baseball League's pitcher of the year in 2024.

This story has been corrected to show Bauer won the Mexican Baseball League's
pitcher of the year award in 2024, not '25.
