: 失敗率極高的IFA簽約 跟大聯盟賽事的作弊
: 很明顯的
: MLB認為前者比後者嚴重
: 而且IFA包裹簽約作弊的 大家都心知肚明 豈會只有勇勇一隊
John Coppolella被終生禁賽的原因不單純只是簽約金超標違規而已
背後還很可能涉及MLB一直不願面對的人口販運問題

A Justice Department investigation into Major League Baseball’s operations
in Latin America and the trafficking of Cuban players has expanded in recent
months, with former league and team officials among those contacted by FBI
agents and called to testify before a grand jury, according to people with
knowledge of the probe. The wide-ranging inquiry is, in part, seeking to root
out suspected involvement of MLB team officials with smugglers who force
Cuban players to sign away exorbitant portions of their earnings in exchange
for passage off the island.
...
The Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres have received
subpoenas seeking records relating to scouting and signing of players from
Latin America, and the Washington Nationals voluntarily turned over documents
to federal agents, including emails and financial records. Those who have
testified to a federal grand jury in D.C. or have spoken to federal agents,
according to people with knowledge of the investigation, include a former MLB
official, a former Dodgers front office staffer, a former Dodgers player from
Cuba, two veteran scouts who worked for the Dodgers and Braves, a sports
agent who has represented Cuban players, and three employees of a player
development camp in the Dominican Republic.
...
While Olivera did play for the other two teams that have been subpoenaed as
part of the investigation, federal authorities are interested in the Braves
and Padres for other reasons, according to people who have been interviewed
by FBI agents and prosecutors.
People familiar with the Braves organization say federal authorities have
interest in the series of events that led to former general manager John
Coppolella’s lifetime ban in 2017 for a raft of rules violations regarding
the signing of international players.
Coppolella declined an interview request through his lawyer, Jacksonville
criminal defense attorney Hank Coxe.
連FBI都介入調查Coppolella那一串違規簽約了
雖然檯面上尚不清楚Coppolella對這些犯罪行為的涉入有多深
但作為一個GM還讓下面的部門人員搞這些犯罪行為
被處罰終生禁賽也是剛好而已
跟偷暗號相比 偷暗號頂多就只是球場上違規而已 連民事責任都不會有
嚴重程度根本無法跟被FBI調查的那些行為相比
