Trevor Bauer throws shade at MLB after Pete Rose's reinstatement
Trevor Bauer is yet again asking for another shot in the big leagues after Pete Rose's reinstatement.
The controversial former MLB pitcher spoke out on social media on Wednesday, one day after the late Rose was reinstated, continuing his crusade against the league he claims is blackballing him.
'So, since Pete is welcome back now, does that go for everyone who has been blackballed?' Bauer wrote on X. 'Or do you actually have to be guilty of something to qualify for that?'

Bauer, who is currently pitching in the Nippon Professional Baseball league in Japan, has been out of MLB for four years after sexual assault allegations were raised against him in 2021.
The league initially placed Bauer on administrative leave before eventually suspending him for 324 games, later reducing the ban to 194 upon appeal.

The 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner can re-sign with a new MLB team, but has yet to catch on with any of the 30 organizations stateside.
Bauer claimed last fall that it was 'an MLB decision' whether he ever signs with another team.

At the time, the Daily Mail obtained a statement from an MLB spokesperson stating that Bauer is eligible to sign with any of its 30 clubs.

'Trevor Bauer served the entirety of his discipline and is an unrestricted free agent available to sign a contract with any team,' the statement read.
Bauer's latest outcry comes a day after Rose, who was placed on the league's permanently ineligible list in August 1989 for gambling on baseball while manager of the Reds, was reinstated by commissioner Rob Manfred.
The decision makes Rose, who died in September, eligible to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame and will be considered by the Classic Baseball Era Committee in December 2027.

This Date in Baseball - Johan Santana pitches the first no-hitter in New York Mets' history
June 1 1923 -- The New York Giants scored in every inning to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 22-8 at the Baker Bowl. 1925 -- Lou Gehrig batted for Pee Wee Wanninger in the eighth and replaced Wally Pipp at first base to start his streak of 2,130 consecutive games. The Washington Senators beat the New York Yankees 5-3. 1937 -- Bill Dietrich of the Chicago White Sox pitched a no-hitter against the St. Louis Browns in an 8-0 win. 1975 -- Nolan Ryan of the California Angels pitched his fourth no-hitter, striking out nine. Ryan tied Sandy Koufax's record by beating the Baltimore Orioles 1-0. It was Ryan's 100th major league victory. 1977 -- Seattle's Ruppert Jones homered off Cleveland's Dennis Eckersley in the fifth inning to snap Eckersley's no-hit string of 22 1-3 innings, just two outs short of Cy Young's major league record. The Indians went on to win, 7-1. 1987 -- Cleveland's Phil Niekro pitched the Indians to a 9-6 victory, his 314th, over the Detroit Tigers. The win gave himself and his brother, Joe, a major league record 530 combined victories, surpassing Gaylord and Jim Perry. 2000 -- Pawtucket's Tomo Ohka became the third pitcher in the 117-year history of the International League to throw a nine-inning perfect game when he beat the Charlotte Knights 2-0. 2005 -- Miguel Tejada hit a homer, three doubles and scored three runs in Baltimore's 9-3 victory over Boston. 2009 -- The New York Yankees played error free for the 18th straight game in a 5-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians, surpassing Boston's major league mark of 17 set in 2006. New York's last error came on May 13 at Toronto when shortstop Ramiro Pena misplayed a groundball. 2011 -- Cincinnati's Francisco Cordero got his 300th career save, securing the Reds' 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Cordero pitched a perfect ninth, becoming the 22nd reliever to achieve 300 saves, tying Bruce Sutter at the mark. 2012 -- Johan Santana pitched the first no-hitter in New York Mets' history. Santana was helped by an umpire's missed call and an outstanding catch in left field in an 8-0 victory over St. Louis Cardinals. Carlos Beltran, back at Citi Field for the first time since the Mets traded him last July, hit a line drive over third base in the sixth inning that hit the foul line and should have been called fair. But third base umpire Adrian Johnson ruled it foul and the no-hitter was intact. Mike Baxter made a tremendous catch in left field to rob Yadier Molina of extra bases in the seventh, getting injured in the process. 2012 -- Jonathan Crawford threw the seventh no-hitter in NCAA tournament history, shutting down Bethune-Cookman in a 4-0 victory in the opener of the Gainesville Regional. Crawford, a sophomore, was nearly perfect and faced the minimum 27 batters. The only player to reach base was Bethune-Cookman's Jake Welch on a walk in the third inning, and Florida catcher Mike Zunino threw him out trying to steal. 2012 -- Alex Miklos hit a go-ahead RBI triple in the 21st inning as Kent State outlasted Kentucky 7-6 in the second-longest game in NCAA tournament history. The Golden Flashes held the lead in the ninth and 18th innings, but the Wildcats answered both times to extend the game. It was the longest game in the NCAA tournament since Texas beat Boston College 3-2 in 25 innings on May 30, 2009. 2016 — Indians OF Marlon Byrd is suspended for 162 games following the second positive test for PEDs of his career. At 39, it marks the end of the former All-Star's career. 2021 — The Olympic hopes end for three countries. Puerto Rico falls, 7 - 6, in 10 innings to Nicaragua in the Americas Olympic Qualifier, as Benjamín Alegría doubles twice, scores twice and drives in a run while Norman St. Clair and Berman Espinoza turn in six shutout innings of relief. Venezuela walks it off to eliminate Colombia as Diego Rincones breaks a 2 - 2 tie in the bottom of the 9th with a solo shot off Carlos Ocampo. Canada eliminates Cuba (missing the Olympics for its first time as a medal event), 6 - 5, as John Axford (now working as an announcer) saves it for Dustin Molleken to overcome three runs by Roel Santos. In the other game, Team USA locks up a spot in the semifinals with an 8 - 6 win over the Dominican national team, Luke Williams hitting a big two-run triple. Nicaragua and the Dominicans will play tomorrow for the last semifinal spot to join the US, Canada and Venezuela. _____

Try it free Traveling to Dodger Stadium proved hazardous for this one Yankees fan's health Friday night. Ricardo Aquino of Mexico City alleges a piece of concrete fell from Dodger Stadium and struck him in the back during the Yankees' 8-5 loss to the Dodgers in a World Series rematch, The Athletic reported. Aquino held a sizable piece of debris that allegedly fell from the top tier at the old stadium in a photo posted by the outlet, and a friend told the publication he was in pain. He reportedly received medical attention. 'He's in some pain, but all it was, was the hit. He's not bleeding, but he's in some pain,' Alvaro Baeza told The Athletic while translating an interview with Aquino. Security guards and one police officer reportedly visited with Aquino after he was allegedly hit in the third inning while sitting in Section 10 reserve on the first base side of the field. 3 Dodger Stadium Getty Images He trekked back to his seat with an ice pack after being attended to, per the report. Multiple fans corroborated Aquino's account. 'Me personally, to see some rocks fall like that,' Lewis Loy of Wilmington, Calif., who was sitting behind Aquino, told the outlet, 'I would be clearing out this whole area. How do you know it's not going to fall anymore? … It could have hit a kid.' Added Jessica Coria of Los Angeles, who sat in front of Aquino: 'I thought someone had thrown something and then I was like, 'We should get security,' and then (Aquino) showed us the rock, and it was clearly from the stadium that fell on him.' 3 Dodger Stadium as seen in 2024. Getty Images The Dodgers could not offer much on the situation as of early Saturday morning. 'We are aware of the report,' the Dodgers told the publication.
