Former Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer blasted the Los Angeles Dodgers as "a bunch of snakes," saying the club abandoned him after he was accused of sexual assault — allegations that never resulted in criminal charges.
"I wish I never played for them because I think the organization treated me like s–t and I am not very happy with that," Bauer said during an interview with YouTube channel "La casa de los Dodgers."
The Southern California native joined the Dodgers on a three-year, $102 million deal in 2021.

But his career began to unravel that May when a San Diego woman accused him of sexual assault during two encounters. Bauer denied the allegations.
He told "La casa de los Dodgers" that he was initially backed by the team.
Bauer, who won the National League Cy Young Award in 2020, claimed Dodgers manager Dave Roberts even hugged him and said, "'Hey, we're going to get through this together and we're going to be a family."
After a five-month review of the case that started with the Pasadena Police Department, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to file criminal charges, citing insufficient evidence.

Bauer was suspended by Major League Baseball for 194 games under its domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy before being released by the Dodgers in January 2023.
He has since wandered from Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball league to the Mexican League to the independent minor-league Long Island Ducks. He is now back in the Mexican League.
Bauer doesn't envision a return to MLB because it "will never allow that to happen."
A league spokesperson referred The Post to a comment from a statement MLB made in 2024: "Trevor Bauer served the entirety of his discipline and is an unrestricted free agent available to sign a contract with any team."
The Dodgers did not return a request for comment.
"The front office people, I wish them nothing but the worst … I think they're a bunch of snakes," Bauer said.
