In announcing Bauer's release on Twitter, the team said that it had "fully cooperated" with the league's investigation and followed the "process stipulated under MLB's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.""The Dodgers organization believes that allegations of sexual assault or domestic violence should be thoroughly investigated, with due process given to the accused.... Two extensive reviews of all the available evidence in this case — one by Commissioner Manfred and another by a neutral arbitrator — concluded that Mr. Bauer's actions warranted the longest ever active player suspension in our sport for violations of this policy," the Dodgers wrote in their statement."Now that this process has been completed, and after careful consideration, we have decided that he will no longer be part of our organization."Bauer was first given an unprecedented two-season, 324-game suspension without pay by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, for violating the league's domestic violence and sexual assault policy."
