100%. That's the framing I've seen in any story about it the past 24 hours. Which is just utter bullshit.
But I cynically understand that side bc it's exhibit A of what we call journalism these days. Which is a sad truth that I wish WASN'T the case but whatever.
The thing I can't understand is how MLB, lawyers involved, team executives and the like can just freaking go along with it all while having much more information than the general public who is only informed by these biased writers and their narratives. In this case, all of the above clearly had much more information and Trevor's side of the story as well. And they just let this guys entire career get shit on for years. I know Bauer has a reputation to be an asshole, and I never was a fan, but FFS someone has to care about just doing what is right in situations like these. The UVA rape hoax was almost a decade ago and this type of shit still happens.
