From a Bay Area report. Key takeaways: 1. Giants could rescind rest of money owed under his 2 year contract; 2. Not the dumbshit’s first scooter accident - both somehow involving him running into the back of a vehicle. This time, said vehicle hit back and ran over his foot.

“The Giants hoped that Harrison Bader would fix their outfield defense for a couple of seasons and add some right-handed power to the bottom of their lineup. Instead, they have stopped paying him with two months left in the 2026 MLB season, leaving his future in orange and black in doubt and potentially setting up a battle with the MLB Players Association.

The organization announced Friday afternoon that it is "suspending payment" to Bader pending an investigation into a scooter accident over the weekend. It was a rare step, but one that felt necessary given the uncertainty about Bader's future and the way in which he got himself hurt.

"Over the weekend, Harrison Bader was involved in an accident that has delayed Harrison's prior treatment timeline for plantar fasciitis and, unfortunately, his return to the field," president of baseball operations Buster Posey said in a statement. "We are still investigating the circumstances of the accident, but will be suspending payment to Harrison until he is able to resume performing services for the Club."

The decision will cost Bader roughly $1.5 million the rest of this season, but potentially much more in 2027. Bader is owed $10 million in the second season of a two-year deal he signed in January, but there are long-term concerns about the left foot, per league sources.

Bader and the MLBPA could fight the move, but he also is likely to have a tough time proving his side of the case. He was injured when he crashed his scooter in the Marina around 2 a.m. on Saturday night, and some within the organization expect that more information will come out, including the possibility of video.

This is not the first scooter-related incident for Bader, who was suspended while at the University of Florida because he was involved in an accident. During that collision, which occurred in 2014, Bader reportedly struck a curb and then ran into a Ford pickup truck.”

Somewhat relevant: I have a beautiful scar on my chin I got from from drunk-riding my bicycle into a parked car somewhere near Laurel Glen, circa 1977, the year I turned twenty.
