Trevor Bauer unhurt in Arizona car crash while driving McLaren

Trevor Bauer’s road back to the major leagues hit another obstacle Wednesday afternoon.

The former Cy Young winner, effectively blacklisted by Major League Baseball, was involved in a collision while driving his black McLaren on a Phoenix-area street.

Bauer, 35, was traveling the posted 45 mph speed limit and was not at fault for the crash, according to TMZ. Emergency responders said no one involved required hospitalization.

Bauer walked away unharmed.

This is not the first time a McLaren owned by Bauer has been damaged. In 2019, a tire from a semi-truck flew off a highway, bounced into a dealership lot, and crushed his parked 2016 McLaren 650S.

Once atop the baseball world after winning a Cy Young Award and signing a three-year, $102 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bauer’s career was thrown into chaos in 2021 after sexual assault allegations from accuser Lindsey Hill.

Criminal charges were never filed, and Bauer has maintained his innocence. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred handed him a 324-game suspension, which an arbitrator later reduced to 194 games.

Bauer has spent the last few years pitching outside the MLB spotlight. He is currently playing for the Atlantic League’s Long Island Ducks, where he owns a 4-1 record with a 2.43 ERA.

Bauer was in Arizona to rehab back spasms. He has spent months publicly campaigning for another MLB opportunity, even offering to play for the league minimum salary. After walking away from Wednesday’s wreck unharmed, he is still chasing a major league comeback.
