Those involved (whether it be Kapler, Friedman, or whomever) would be lucky to JUST receive a lifetime ban.

that's just it. the DOJ doesn't give a rat's ass about lifetime bans and MLB fines. they go after criminals.

this is awesome.

now that we have the trivial matters out of the way, let's get back to more important issues

One particularly remarkable document shows that Dodgers executives in 2015 went so far as to develop a database that measured the perceived “level of egregious behavior” displayed by 15 of their own employees in Latin America. That is, using a scale of 1 to 5—“innocent bystander” to “criminal”—front-office executives assessed their own staff’s level of corruption. Five employees garnered a “criminal” rating.

The email from the manager of a Hampton Inn in Glendale, Arizona, stunned the Los Angeles Dodgers. A minor-league player recently signed by the team had been accused of harassing and then sexually assaulting a hotel housekeeper. The situation, the manager wrote, was “unacceptable.”

“I guess for a few weeks now [the player] has been making remarks and asking her to go out with him,” the manager wrote in an email to a team official that was obtained by The Daily Beast. “She keeps telling him that she has a boyfriend and is not interested but he still keeps making comments.”

The ballplayer, the manager wrote, would not take no for an answer.

“On Sunday things elevated where she was cleaning another room and he came up behind her and grabbed her,” the email continued. “She pushed him back and he came back and grabbed her yet again. She told him that she wasn’t interested and that he needed to leave and he did.”

As news of the 2015 incident spread throughout the Dodgers’ player-development staff, the club appeared to have little doubt about the housekeeper’s credibility or the severity of the incident, the email chain shows.

The team quickly sent the player back to Latin America and released him from the Dodgers a few months later. But there is no evidence that the Dodgers notified Major League Baseball about the allegations.

And just a month after the Dodgers cut ties with him, he was back in baseball again, with a minor-league contract for another MLB team.

It was hard after McCourt left.

I still remember getting free tickets to the club section, and had a fresh baked cookie after the seventh inning.  You talk about first rate...
