Don't mind me, apparently it's too early in the morning, or reading comprehension is not my strong suit today.

Chapman's victim did not cooperate so he was not charged.

I kind of forgot about that.  This obviously makes a big difference.

Quite honestly, a big factor is probably just the time.  Chapman committed his transgressions prior to the MeToo movement gaining steam.  I think if Chapman had done that at the same time Bauer did, he probably would have faced a similar punishment as Bauer.

Yea. I get that. Kind of messed up, but I get it.  

Sorry, mostly just read here.
so Chapman allegedly shot at and chocked his girlfriend.  
Bauer beat up a sexual partner. 
both guys are probably pieces of shit. Not sure why Chapman is seen better in the public eye. Fists are worse than guns?   Maybe it was just his situation, new contract, SP etc that made this a bigger deal at the time?  Seems like they should both be in the same spot.  
Chapman has made plenty of money since his situation.  
bauer will do the same.  
I would take him on a 1-year deal.  He will probably want more. 

MLBTradeRumors is reporting that international bonus money must be traded in increments of at least $250K, I believe Atlanta has $300K available. It would be nice if we were able to get all of that, but we will get at a minimum $250K. 

Found this article while looking at MLB trade rumors. 

They have graduated some players prior to them exceeding the standard rookie guidelines, but finally a couple players in the top 100.
