I doubt an MLB franchise would handle it the same as UFC. I am all for free speech but I don’t believe you are free from consequences. Especially when you work for an organization . I believe teams are in the risk/reward state so far. I believe if he made a commitment to not being a distraction, his chances would improve. He certainly has the right not too and teams have the right to not want to deal with it. Playing MLB is a privilege, no one is owed anything
Strong disagree. MLB teams shouldn't be busybodying about their players' social media unless what they're saying is illegal or disparaging of the team or its players or something that would cause them to get sued. It's the teams that need to stay in their lanes, not the players. Dana White had it exactly right -- he doesn't have people on leashes. If fans don't like a player's politics, they can boo him. That's the consequences. But teams should *never* get involved in that.
Do you believe Bauer will just pitch and not cause any issues in the media or with teammates. I think the concern that he will be a thorn in the teams side on social media is a realistic one. But someone may take the shot

I don't know what he would do or not, but if he does, this is how a team ought to handle it!
