In the MLB Spring training period, teams usually try out different tactics and styles to get their new players to settle in and be ready for the upcoming year. There are though some players who are still without a club including Trevor Bauer. He though will be in action soon and pitch again.

This is because of the fact that the former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher has signed with a minor league team named Asian Breeze. As a result of this, he will face his ex-team in a training game on March 10.

Bauer has been out of MLB since the allegation of sexual assault were filed against him. This led to him being suspended by the league in 2021. The pitcher would later move to Japan and sign with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. With no MLB clubs showing interest in him, the pitcher seems to have found a new way to play against an MLB team by signing with the Asian Breeze team.

According to their website, the team describes themselves as a team that “offers opportunities for baseball players, from children to young people, who will create the next generation of Japanese baseball players, to think and act on their own through overseas challenges, and to develop ‘independence’ to grow themselves“.

As per reports from Deadspin, the team is not actually based in Japan but rather in Phoenix, Arizona. Bauer will now play with MLB-affiliated teams of this organization and hope to land a professional contract with an MLB team in the upcoming days.

Trevor Bauer reported to have paid money to participate with Asian Breeze

The MLB world was stunned when Trevor Bauer announced his return to the Spring training. Many were confused as to how this was possible as the 2021 Cy Young Award winner was still looking for a team. Thanks to his contract with Asian Breeze, he will get the chance to participate in the Spring training. A new report now suggests that he has paid some amount of money to participate with this organization.

He is though not the first player to pay to the Asian Breeze. According to Sports Illustrated, players typically pay the minor league organization to appear for them. This allows the players to represent them and showcase the world their skills.

Bauer is now said to have done this too. However, how much amount did he pay to this organization is unknown at the moment.

The pitcher will now be readying himself to face off against his former team. It is though likely that he will not face the top members of the team and instead go up against some minor league players of the Dodgers. It now remains to be seen whether this will actually help him land an MLB contract.
