Overview

  • The court awarded Bauer $309,832.02 including $220,000 for 22 violations of the settlement’s confidentiality clause and the remainder for attorney fees, interest and costs.
  • Bauer sued Hill in October 2024 after she publicly asserted on social media and podcasts that he paid her under their 2023 settlement agreement, triggering the breach claims.
  • Hill did not contest the October suit, prompting Crowley to grant a default judgment in Bauer’s favor on June 3, 2025.
  • Though never criminally charged, Bauer has spent the past two seasons pitching in Japan and Mexico and remains unsigned by any Major League Baseball team.
  • The outcome underscores ongoing scrutiny of MLB’s disciplinary consistency and bolsters Bauer’s allegations that he has been unofficially blackballed by the league.
