In 2012, he broke out, garnering 12 wins and pitching to a 2.42 ERA between Double-A and Triple-A. He made his big league debut that season, giving up 13 runs in four games. That December, he was part of a blockbuster three-team deal. In it, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2022\/04\/06\/guardians-preview-2022\/\" target=\"_self\">Cleveland Indians<\/a> sent, among others, outfielder Shin-Shoo Choo to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2022\/04\/27\/a-bright-future-is-nick-lodolo\/\" target=\"_self\">Cincinnati Reds<\/a>. The Reds sent shortstop Didi Gregorious to the Diamondbacks. Bauer, Matt Albers, and Bryan Shaw all went from Arizona to Cleveland. After spending some more split time between the majors and minors, Bauer had his first consistent big league experience in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Trevor Bauer had his first true success in 2018, winning 12 contests and pitching to a 2.21 ERA with a 196 ERA+. Midway through 2019, he headed from Cleveland to Cincinnati in another three-team deal. His time with the Reds began in rough fashion, but he quickly bounced back in the COVID-shortened 2020. He won the Cy Young Award, pitching to a 1.73 ERA with a 0.795 WHIP and a 284 ERA+. During the offseason, he signed a three-year deal with the Dodgers. Before the accusation, he went 8-5 with a 2.59 ERA and a 160 ERA+.<\/p>\n<h4>Main Photo:<\/h4>\n<p><a id=\"lnIp_qxuSDxRfnzMS_hOCw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1328037234\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'lnIp_qxuSDxRfnzMS_hOCw',sig:'RK9FeN96uAu1a83u5UwSmBgMvGe1lt0QVkZ3Pqw1ZKI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1328037234',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Players mentioned:<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bauertr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trevor Bauer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/choosh01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shin-Shoo Choo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/gregodi01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Didi Gregorious<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/alberma01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matt Albers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/shawbr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bryan Shaw<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Dodgers starter Trevor Bauer has been suspended by Major League Baseball for a total of 324 games, according to Jeff Passan.
