MLB Player-Agent Rachel Lumba Criticized For NOT Defending Client Trevor Bauer!

Los Angeles Dodgers righty Trevor Bauer has always been a talker, even during the recent months-long legal proceedings that led to his separation from the rest of the team.

Last week, Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer filed a defamation lawsuit against the sports news website Deadspin on Thursday, claiming the outlet “knowingly published false information” in its coverage of sexual assault allegations made against Bauer last year.

It all steams from a report(via Los Angeles Times) that the pitcher fractured the skull of a woman who filed a petition for a restraining order against him. The lawsuit says that while other outlets later corrected their reporting after medical records attached to the woman’s petition showed no skull fracture and instead described an acute head injury

Then, last August, the woman was denied a permanent restraining order by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge. Last month, the L.A. County District Attorney declined to charge Bauer with a crime.

After a five-month review of a police investigation into domestic violence allegations against the Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher Trevor Bauer, prosecutors in Los Angeles have declined to pursue criminal charges against him, according to The New York Times.

Now, his agent Rachel Lumba is being criticized for not defending Trevor Bauer…

CelebnSports247.com reports that MLB Player-Agent Rachel Lumba took to social media to speak on Los Angeles Dodgers righty Trevor Bauer on why “declined after many of you spent the last 8+ months spreading a false narrative.”

Rachel Lumba responded to a Tweet that read:

Trevor Bauer said he considered taking to reporters but changed his mind saying, ‘None of you have my best interest at heart.’

She said:

I’m sure y’all can understand why he declined after many of you spent the last 8+ months spreading a false narrative.

She has faced criticism for not defending her client.

One user on Twitter said:

Interesting take Rachel on International Women’s Week. Doing what he did and not knowing right from wrong even if she requested those things is sick. She needs help, not to be called a liar. Defend your client all you want, but what he did was wrong and showed terrible judgment.

You talking about the same guy who threw a baseball over the center field wall because he was be taking out of the game in Cleveland? That guy? No one needs to damage his reputation, he does a pretty good job of it.
