The Dodgers spoke to reporters about the release of Trevor Bauer. Here they address why they took two weeks to reach their decision:

“There were no games we were playing,” Kasten said. “We had the time. Check all our bases, get all the info you could get to make a decision, which we did, and that included hearing from Trevor because we had not spoken to him since the beginning of this. And because we had the time, we took the time to get as much info as we can to be sure we were making the right decision. That’s what we did. We feel like we made the right decision. And we’ll move on.”

That’s fine. No one can accuse them of not listening.
