The Atlanta Braves are in the trying start of a long rebuild.
Braves fans were given another reality check when the club traded star shortstop Andrelton Simmons to the Los Angeles Angels. If that wasn’t a tough pill to swallow on its own, reports suggested the team is willing to move first baseman Freddie Freeman as well. The Braves are truly exploring every opportunity.
Braves general manager John Coppolella understands fans being frustrated with the tear down of a team that won 96 games two years ago, but admits rebuilding is a long process, while not mincing his words about his frustration.
