NextImg:Trevor Bauer Wins Lawsuit Against False Accuser. Will The MLB Take Him Back?

Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has won his lawsuit against the woman who falsely accused him of sexual assault back in 2021.

The accuser, Lindsey Hill, was ordered to pay Bauer $310,000 for violating a settlement agreement two years ago. The earlier agreement prohibited either party from falsely claiming the other had paid to settle, but Hill breached that agreement when she repeatedly claimed publicly that Bauer had paid her.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel Crowley awarded Bauer $220,000 for Hill’s 22 violations of the earlier agreement, along with $68,939.55 in attorney fees, $16,634.52 in interest, and additional costs of $4,257.95 for a total of $309,832.02.

Bauer’s agent, Rachel Luba, made clear on X that “the only money ever exchanged between” Bauer and Hill will be the “$309,000 in damages” Hill will need to pay Bauer.

“So to sum up: Lindsey Hill has now been ordered to pay Bauer, and has been arrested and is being charged with assault and abuse with an outstanding warrant for her arrest. Bauer’s other false accuser is currently being charged with committing fraud against him. And most importantly, Bauer has never been arrested, charged with a single crime, or paid even a cent to an accuser,” Luba wrote.

Luba referred to Hill’s arrest in late April for multiple offenses, including third-degree assault of an EMS official, public intoxication, driving on a suspended license, disorderly conduct, and animal cruelty. The U.S. Sun reported at the time that Hill became “drunk and disorderly” at a restaurant and became violent after she was arrested and placed in a patrol car, attempting to break the divider. Police wrote in their report that she then had an “emergency medical situation” and EMS officials were called. While attempting to treat her, Hill assaulted the officials. The animal cruelty offense came from Hill leaving her dog inside a hot car without water.

Bauer commented on Hill’s arrest by sarcastically calling her Major League Baseball’s “superstar.”

“Apparently, the more likely you are to get drunk and actually commit crimes, the more they actually back you, whether it’s getting you back on the field or using you to take someone else off the field,” Bauer added.

The original settlement in 2023 came after Bauer sued Hill for defamation. She countersued, alleging sexual assault. Hill had previously accused Bauer of sexual assault in 2021, but he was never arrested or charged with any crime. The L.A. District Attorney’s office released a statement in 2022 explaining why it declined to prosecute Bauer.

“After a thorough review of all the available evidence including the civil restraining order proceedings, witness statements and the physical evidence — the People are unable to prove the relevant charges beyond a reasonable doubt,” the DA’s office said. “Those charges were assault by means likely to cause great bodily harm, sodomy of a sleeping person and domestic violence.”

In August 2021, a Los Angeles judge denied Hill’s attempt to receive a permanent restraining order against Bauer, Outkick reported, with the judge saying her claims were “materially misleading.”

The MLB quickly suspended Bauer for 324 games after Hill made her accusations – even though no investigation had been conducted. For comparison, MLB outfielder Marcell Ozuna was actually arrested for domestic violence against his wife in 2021 but received only a 20-game suspension and has been playing for the Atlanta Braves ever since.

Hill alleged that Bauer sexually assaulted her and repeatedly punched her in the face, vagina, and buttocks, and also choked her to the point of losing consciousness several times. In October 2023, after the first settlement agreement, Bauer revealed text messages Hill sent to her friends before she even met the former MLB star, suggesting she plotted to get money from him.

“‘Next victim. Star pitcher for the Dodgers,’” Bauer says in the video while showing a picture of Hill’s text. “A text Lindsey Hill sent to a friend before she ever even met me. ‘What should I steal?’ she asked another, in reference to visiting my house for the first time. The answer? ‘Take his money.’ So how might that work? ‘I’m going to his house Wednesday,’ she said, ‘I already have my hooks in. You know how I roll.’ Then, after the first time we met, ‘Net worth is 51 mil,’ she said. ‘b—h, you better secure the bag,’ was the response.”

“But how was she going to do that?” Bauer continued. “‘Need daddy to choke me out,’ she said. ‘being an absolute whore to try to get in on his 51 million,’ read another text. Then, after the second time we met, former [San Diego] Padres pitcher Jacob Nix told her, ‘You gotta get this bag.’ ‘I’ll give you 50,000,’ Lindsey replied. Her AA sponsor asked her at one point, ‘Do you feel a tiny bit guilty?’ ‘Not really,’ she replied.”

Bauer said at the time that the text messages were “deliberately and unlawfully concealed from me and my legal team” until he sued Hill for defamation and the case entered discovery. Bauer also played a video that Hill had taken just before she left Bauer’s house the morning of the alleged assault, showing her in bed next to him, smirking, and with no visible injuries.

Bauer also said that Hill approached him for money, but after his legal team showed her the texts and video, she asked for a settlement instead, which included no money. Bauer agreed, so long as he was able to publicly discuss the case.

The MLB didn’t welcome back Bauer after Hill’s lies were exposed. It didn’t welcome him back after his second accuser was charged with extorting him in 2024. 

Bauer played in the Mexican Baseball League and won the Pitcher of the Year award in 2024. Now he plays professional baseball in Japan. 

Now that Hill has been ordered to pay Bauer nearly $310,000 for her lies, will the MLB finally welcome back this star pitcher? Again, Marcell Ozuna faced a much shorter suspension after actually being charged with domestic assault against his wife, and he is currently playing in the MLB, so why was Bauer, who was falsely accused, blackballed?
