Trevor Bauer's record MLB suspension reduced

Dodgers P Trevor Bauer’s two-year suspension from MLB "was reduced Thursday, and now the Dodgers have two weeks to restore him to their roster or release him." An arbitrator "reduced Bauer’s suspension from 324 to 194 games and reinstated him immediately." He lost $37.5M in salary from his $102M Dodgers contract. Even with the reduction, the suspension is the "longest under baseball’s policy on sexual assault and domestic violence." The Dodgers have until Jan. 6 to decide what to do, although the remaining $22.5M of his salary is "guaranteed whether they activate him or release him" (L.A. TIMES, 12/23).
