The Braves will promote John Coppolella from assistant general manager to general manager, with John Hart continuing to oversee the baseball operations department.
A news conference is expected later Thursday to announce the move, which was confirmed by a person close to the situation.
While the team has had no one with the general-manager title since Frank Wren was fired on Sept. 21, 2014, Coppollela and Hart have split those duties, with Coppollela doing much of the negotiating and procedural work involved in an extremely busy 12 months that saw the Braves make a multitude of trades as they sought to rebuild the farm system.
