Even though there are no restrictions for MLB clubs to sign him, no one is stepping up to the plate (pun intended). He is a former Cy Young Winner and has dominated in Japan and Mexico, but still, no takers. The Jays should really look at signing him as he even stated he's willing to "take league minimum and earn his money through incentives bonuses."
In Mexico (LMB) for the Diablos Rojos del México, he has a 1.50 ERA and 47 strikeouts in six starts. He is currently in his prime and has already won a Cy Young, so to be blackballed by owners for something he was never charged or arrested for, is insane.
The Toronto Blue Jays should really consider taking Bauer up on his league minimum offer as it wouldn't break the bank and he can prove himself as he desires. There is nothing to lose, and the Jays could use all the help right now.
