Bauer, who threw a seven-inning no-hitter for the Long Island Ducks on April 26, 2026, claims multiple MLB teams have declined to sign him even after he offered to play for free.
The 2020 NL Cy Young winner says he has offered to join minor leagues, donate his salary, and relinquish social media control, but still receives rejections after apparent initial interest from teams.
Bauer, out of MLB since a 2021 suspension and Dodgers release, attributes his situation to both past controversies and strained relations with league leadership, despite maintaining strong on-field performance and fan support.
