Okay, it’s true… there wasn’t a lot of movement of Atlanta braves’ personnel this Winter. But before we tie a bow around the ‘off-season that was’, let’s review a bit for those needing to catch up:
THE BIG STORY
- General Manager John Coppolella “resigned” his position and was subsequently banned from baseball due to his role in engaging in a scheme of acquiring International players in violation of MLB rules.
- Alex Anthopoulos was hired to take his place in mid-November.
- John Hart has resigned (or allowed his own contract to expire); John Schuerholz is fading further into the background… we think… though son Jonathan is now the Assistant Director of player development
- There has been considerable turnover in the Front Office since this changeover.
