I was going to talk about some Atlanta Braves‘ trade rumor updates, but I have some unfinished business to discuss that takes priority.
It took a day to collect my thoughts on the sudden departure – firing, dismissal, whatever – of two Braves’ legends: scouts Brian Bridges and Roy Clark.
Inasmuch as I appreciate what Alex Anthopoulos has done to stabilize this organization after a year+ of increasing conflict and misbehavior, I fear that this action could end up being his worst deal during his tenure in the Atlanta GM chair… however long that might be.
