Potentially but it might be worth it if that kicks stuff far down the road. Especially for people with a career that ends on the wrong side of 30 anyway.
From a business perspective it might actually be the smart thing to do to pay the accusers off, no matter if you did it or not. With Bauer it looks like he did something that wasn't criminal but still pretty far down the "not cool" road. If he had decided to pay them instead of going public or at least before the situation reached a point of no return he might be the Dodgers opening day starter this week.
Again, totally different from a situation like Aroldis Chapman where his wife probably went to talk to a lawyer who let her know that she has to make a decision between having that ***hole pay for what he did to her and having their kids grow up with an 8 figure trust fund. I think for both Chapman and German their girlfriend turned into their wife at some point after the incident?
