While John Coppolella’s lifetime ban may have come as a bit of a shock, it also brought up an interesting question — what happens to John Hart?
After all, he was the President of Baseball Operations — even if rumor has it that he was basically just a glorified advisor in this role. Still, he had to have known or even approved of what was going on, which means that he could have been open for sanctions if that was the case.
It now seems like John Hart was trying to get out while the getting was good.
