The Spin
Narrative A
Trevor Bauer has been vindicated. Lindsey Hill's fraudulent sexual assault claims, driven by her self-admitted attempt to win money from him, crumbled under scrutiny. Her inconsistent story, criminal history, and a warrant for her arrest expose her deceit. This $309,000 judgment against her for lying about a settlement confirms Bauer's innocence. The MLB, courts, and accusers owe him apologies for this smear that derailed his once incredible career.
Narrative B
Trevor Bauer's court win doesn't prove innocence, only that Lindsey Hill breached their settlement. His arrogance on social media, mocking teams like the Yankees while begging for a contract, shows he's exploiting the scandal for attention. No MLB team wants him — not only because of these accusations but because he's a divisive clubhouse presence. MLB doesn't promote alleged abusers, which is why he'll remain a pariah forever.
