Trevor Bauer pulls on No. 96 for Yokohama’s BayStars

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:29:04 GMT

YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) — Trevor Bauer apparently was shunned by every major league team, so he’s signed a one-year deal with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. Before about 75 reporters in a Yokohama hotel, he slipped on the BayStars uniform — No. 96 — on Friday and said all the right things. Not a single Japanese reporter asked him about his suspension in the United States over domestic violence allegations or the reasons surrounding it.The only question about it came from The Associated Press. Bauer disputed the fact the question suggested he was suspended from the major leagues.“I don’t believe that’s accurate,” he said of the suspension. “But I’m excited to be here. I’m excited to pitch again. I’ve always wanted to play in Japan.”He said the suspension dealt technically with matters of pay, and he said he had contacted major league teams about playing this year. He said he would have been eligible, but did not say if he had offers.The 2020 NL Cy Young ...

Grad student workers at Queen’s held their second rally in just over two months outside of Queen’s Richardson Hall on Wednesday.Student workers, represented by PSAC 901, are pushing for an end to tuition for grad students along with higher rates of pay, saying the current arrangements with the university push many students into poverty and poor mental health. At the rally, PSAC 901 co-chief Steward Jake Morrow said the university’s administration should expect students to only get more tired of the conditions they’re put in. “When you decide to pay people half and less than half of the minimum wage and when you refuse to listen to them again and again,” Morrow said.“You have to prepare for those people to keep coming back and keep getting louder.”Grad student worker unions at a number of schools across Ontario have been protesting working conditions on a wide scale, and on Wednesday members of UOttawa’s CUPE 2626 union were ...

DENVER (KDVR) -- FOX31 heard from the man who used to lead Denver Public Schools’ Department of Safety following the double shooting Wednesday. Michael Eaton, who now works in San Antonio, happened to be in town this week when that shooting happened at East High.He spent 11-and-a-half years with the district and said he is just devastated by the news.“SROs and police officers are a vital part of an all-inclusive emergency management plan for large urban school districts,” Eaton said. “Some opponents may say an SRO wouldn't have stopped this from happening. I disagree. You can't quantify the prevention that an armed uniformed SRO could have provided in a horrible situation like [Wednesday].” Parents praise security at DPS schools, call for more resources after board decision He agrees with the DPS board’s decision to bring officers back to high schools for the remainder of the school year.

DENVER (KDVR) -- Parents reacted to the decision made by the board at Denver Public Schools to place armed officers on campuses.Some parents are relieved there will be any kind of security presence at schools.
