In this post from John Perroto of Fanrag Sports, John Coppolella told a quick story about how back in 2006 then-GM John Schuerholz told him that then-Commissioner Bud Selig felt that the Braves were one of the model franchises in all of baseball — the “gold standard,” if you will. The Braves are far from 24-karat status right now, but the organization feels good about returning to that level soon.
...There is hope that the Braves are on the road to recovery despite going 67-95 in 2015 and 68-93 this year while trading many of their veterans and beginning a youth movement.
