Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has filed a defamation lawsuit against the owner of Deadspin — a case that accuses the sports commentary website of publishing false information about him and making an "unrelenting attack" on him "with the purpose of humiliating him and ruining his baseball career."
The lawsuit particularly focuses on an article published by Deadspin on July 6, 2021, which said the woman who accused Bauer of assault last year had "her skull fractured" in an incident with Bauer, according to the lawsuit.
Other news media outlets reported about "signs" of such an injury because that is what the woman stated in her request for a temporary restraining order against Bauer. Her request filed in court in late June stated she was diagnosed with an "acute head injury" and said there were "signs of a basilar skull fracture."
