| A woman obtained a temporary protective order against the Los Angeles pitcher after an alleged assault earlier this year that police are investigating. Bauer, the 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner, has denied the allegations through his attorney and has not been charged. He became the highest-paid player for a single season in baseball history when he signed a three-year, $102 million contract with the Dodgers in February. MLB said in a statement that its investigation, concurrent with the Pasadena Police Department's active criminal investigation, is ongoing. |
