OK, how about Quintez Cephus? He messed up badly with gambling but he wasn't a rapist like he was alleged to be. You would think we wouldn't be so quick to judge and wait for the process to run it's course. I'm not going to pretend I know everything about Bauers case but he's actually countersuing the 4th woman for extortion. The 2nd and 3rd women raise red flags to anyone thinking critically. If what they claim happened, why did they wait years until a lawsuit against Bauer to come out? I would hope and expect any woman to go to the police immediately afterwords if something that awful had happened to them. In regards to how he conducts himself? The main issue from what I've seen is that he's more concerned about being a social influencer and is willing to do anything for a reaction. He's a wannabe Conor McGregor in a sport that lacks athletes that stand out so he believes that any publicity is a good publicity when you're trying to build a following / brand. His entire negative persona is attached to getting clicks which is why I would only sign him if he agreed to stop it while he was with the team. He talks about it all in this interview.

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.

I remember living in a country where people were innocent until proven guilty. Now people are still guilty when they've been proven innocent...
