There is something called due process for a reason. Heaven forbid you or someone close to you is on the wrong end of an accusation. I would hope you would get the chance to defend yourself before the court of opinion renders you guilty.
It's harder to defend a lot of the other things that Bauer has done because he admits he's a troll and and enjoys pissing people off. Adding a guy like that to the chemistry in the locker room is a valid concern. However, you're not getting entitled, top of the world Bauer, you're getting a guy who's been humbled, served his time and would be stupid to ruin his last chance. The key would be the social media BS, so I would ask him straight up - "Do you want to be an online influencer or do you want to be a starting pitcher?" If he's willing to give up on being a youtuber then he would probably fit in on every team in the league. I see no problem with a minimum deal full of incentives because you can cut him the first moment something goes wrong in the locker room. If he turns out to be a model citizen then you got a piece that can help you make a playoff push or possibly be moved for a piece to help us out long term.
The older I get, the more open I am to second chances. For one, I'm thankful Alcorn State gave Donald Driver a 2nd chance and there's countless others that have worked out just as well.
