New Evidence In Trevor Bauer Sexual Assault Investigation Has Been Turned Over To MLB And Police, Accuser Had Alleged Relationship With San Diego Padres Star Fernando Tatis, Jr.

New evidence has been introduced to both the Pasadena Police Department and Major League Baseball as part of the ongoing Trevor Bauer sexual assault investigation, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
Last week, the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher was accused of brutally sexually assaulting a 27-year-old woman with whom he was in a brief sexual relationship earlier this year. She chose to remain anonymous.
The woman was granted a temporary ex parte restraining order against Bauer, though the MLB player and his reps maintain the pair's few trysts – during which the woman claims Bauer choked her unconscious, sodomized her without consent, and punched her in the face and [expletive] – were "consensual."
Per the restraining order request – which included graphic photos as exhibits – the woman said she sought medical care following the second alleged violent sexual encounter. She claims the first encounter took place on April 18 and the second occurred on May 15.
PPD and MLB then began separate investigations into the woman's claims, and Bauer was placed on a seven-day administrative leave.
MLB decided to extend the athlete's leave by an additional seven days on Thursday while the investigations continue.
Breaking Celebrity News has been told that an alleged longtime friend of the woman – who also wishes to remain anonymous – has since turned over private messages via text and Instagram to both the PPD and MLB that the friend allegedly exchanged with the woman.
In the messages – obtained and reviewed by Breaking Celebrity News – the alleged victim told the friend she allegedly had a past sexual relationship with San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis, Jr., saying she "cant believe I achieved that," adding that it was the "best sex OF MY LIFE." The woman alluded to that relationship being "the reason [she] had to resign from the pad squad!"
Per the Padres' website, the Pad Squad is an ambassador team for the Padres and part of the Petco Park experience.
The woman went on to send the friend screenshots of Instagram DMs allegedly exchanged between herself and Bauer, noting that she was "going to his house" that week and "already [has] her hooks in," adding, "you know how I roll."
The woman told the friend she was "literally going to get in his head"… "and find pine tar." She added, "trust me I know what I'm doing."
The woman said Bauer was "so intriguing to me tho" and that "hes a whackaddodle. Like Clev," a reference to Bauer's former teammate and San Diego Padres pitcher Mike Clevinger, who she alluded to knowing.
The messages show the woman then responded to an Instagram Story posted by the friend showing a meme of Tatis mocking Bauer's one-eyed pitching earlier this year, writing, "Ur welcome for getting in bauers head🤑," with the money-tongue emoji. This message was dated April 24, which would have been after the first alleged violent sexual encounter the woman said she had with Bauer.
"That's the message that sits kind of strange with me, just being that it's after their first alleged encounter," the friend told us, adding that they saw the woman in person shortly after the first alleged violent sexual encounter took place and said, "She mentioned that she had a great time and said something along the lines of – and I'm paraphrasing here – but something like he's a nice guy and I had a great time. ... None of which showed me anything to be concerned about or any signs of a victim being involved."
