Alex Anthopoulos is set to become the next General Manager of the Atlanta Braves, according to a report.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post first reported the news late Sunday night on the eve of the annual GM Meetings. The Braves have not yet confirmed the hiring.
We learned on Sunday night that Dayton Moore was no longer an option for the Braves’ vacancy. Anthopoulos and former Cubs GM Jim Hendry were viewed as the top two candidates, though Anthopoulos was considered the favorite. It now appears a formal announcement could be made in the coming days.
