Oh please let Bauer be cheating lmao
He is but so is everyone else. If he gets suspended and other obvious players (Cole, Morton, pretty much anyone who pitched for the Astros and suddenly started having career years) don't, it's not going to go over well. Bauer called them out for cheating years ago and has been pretty vocal about the league not doing anything about it, this reeks of petty retaliation from Manfred.
Imagine Bauer gets suspended for bringing attention to the fact pitchers are obviously doctoring the balls and the Astro players didn't serve a game for their scandal. Wouldn't be surprising given Manfreds leadership but still, would be incredibly stupid.
