It has been said that in a bacon-and-eggs breakfast, the hen is “involved” with the process, but the pig is “committed.” Ladies and gentlemen, after the hiring of new Executive-Vice-President-and-General-Manager-Alex-Anthopoulos the Atlanta Braves are now committed.
There’s new faces in the Front Office – the last hires of the Coppolella regime (including former Jays exec Perry Minasian). There’s a new GM. John Schuerholz won’t be around, except for ceremonies. John Hart will be placed in house arrest at the golf course.
In short, it’s just about as clean of a break as you could ever imagine – particularly given that there’s a couple of Hall of Famers involved.
