Trevor Bauer situation

I'm a little (emphasis on little) surprised that this story isn't gaining much traction in the big media machine yet. A few years ago, Trevor Bauer (pitcher for the LA Dodgers) was accused of sexual assault by a woman he had been with. Seemingly without all of the facts, Major League Baseball suspended him for nearly 2 full seasons in the prime of his career. The Dodgers paid him for the one full season but got out of the remainder of the contract, which cost Bauer $37.5 million. Now that all court proceedings appear to be over, Bauer could speak publicly as part of the agreement. Pretty damning stuff has come out supporting his claims he was set up and nothing non-consensual ever took place.


If everything he is showing is factual, I'm not sure why he wouldn't have a case to go after MLB for assuming him guilty until proven innocent, costing him a fortune and 2+ years in the prime of his career.
 
Haven't heard a thing on it. What is going on with the case? Dropped, convicted or yet to happen??

According to what he has posted, legal proceedings are done and he had to pay her nothing. I read that she somehow got some money from another source but I didn't quite understand what happened with that. It smelled fishy (pun) from the beginning when she made accusations but didn't go for criminal charges, she wanted a civil case to chase money.

Edit:

Dug a bit and found this: https://www.foxla.com/news/trevor-bauer-and-his-accuser-lindsey-hill-settle-legal-battle

How she got $300k from "insurance" is a little bizarre to me.
 
From the above article:

"In a twist of events, Judge Diana Gould-Saltman had previously ruled that Lindsey Hill had misled the court, and her claims were found to be materially misleading. The judge denied her request for a domestic violence restraining order and found no evidence of sexual assault or non-consensual conduct."
