This is remarkable:

Meaning, Bauer is such damaged goods that the Dodgers are willing to throw away almost $22 million on a pitcher who presumably could still help them.
Also means that assuming any of the other 29 teams do want to have him on their roster, not a single one of them was willing to throw the Dodgers a PTBNL to ensure his services- which would matter given that he gets his pick of any team interested since money doesn't matter (the signing team will pay the minimum and the Dodgers will pay the rest). You have to think that if there's a team out there that does want Bauer, they'd have been willing to throw in a lottery ticket to avoid the risk he signs elsewhere.
