: 失败率极高的IFA签约 跟大联盟赛事的作弊
: 很明显的
: MLB认为前者比后者严重
: 而且IFA包裹签约作弊的 大家都心知肚明 岂会只有勇勇一队
John Coppolella被终生禁赛的原因不单纯只是签约金超标违规而已
背后还很可能涉及MLB一直不愿面对的人口贩运问题

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.
连FBI都介入调查Coppolella那一串违规签约了
虽然台面上尚不清楚Coppolella对这些犯罪行为的涉入有多深
但作为一个GM还让下面的部门人员搞这些犯罪行为
被处罚终生禁赛也是刚好而已
跟偷暗号相比 偷暗号顶多就只是球场上违规而已 连民事责任都不会有
严重程度根本无法跟被FBI调查的那些行为相比
