The Los Angeles Dodgers released Trevor Bauer on Thursday, less than a week after he was designated for assignment.
Bauer, who was accused of sexual assault and previously received a two-season ban from Major League Baseball, now becomes a free agent.
The former NL Cy Young Award winner originally signed a three-year contract with the Dodgers in February 2021.
Bauer, 31, was originally hit with a 324-game suspension and was reinstated to the league in December by an arbitrator. His suspension was reduced to 194 games.
