LOS ANGELES — On one side there are the Dodgers, who have a complicated relationship with the truth, and on the other is Trevor Bauer. And even if Bauer finds a new employer, who knows if Friedman and Kasten would actually talk. The organization's silence was entirely expected, as the Dodgers have created an upper management culture almost entirely devoid of accountability. According to Bauer, "Dodgers leadership" said the team wanted him back; is there a team official who is willing to contradict him on the record? When Bauer was designated for assignment last week, the Dodgers said they did so after "careful consideration."
