Not a lot of baseball this week on the podcast. We recount the timeline of Trevor Bauer getting investigated for assault, then getting placed on administrative leave by the Dodgers.
This episode does include allegations of sexual assault that could be upsetting and difficult to listen to. If you’d like to skip past the Bauer discussion, please skip ahead to 22:49 in the podcast.
Thanks to producer Brian Salvatore for the quick turnaround on this episode, and thanks to the handful of folks who helped behind the scenes before we sent it out.
Programming note: We are taking the All-Star break off, so we’ll see you in a few weeks.
