Yesterday David O’Brien of the AJC published a larger part of the transcript of Atlanta Braves GM John Coppolella’s news conference after the trade of Andrelton Simmons. In short they felt it was a trade now or lose Sean Newcomb deal.
Q and A and Comments
Everyone knows what I think about the Simmons deal and I’ve yet to hear anyone outside of the Braves front office come forward and say this was a great deal fro the Braves. We all know that the GM is “so tired of this” discussion and the AJC story probably won’t assuage his feelings of angst.
