Former Braves executive under fire for tone deaf response to performance questions

Atlanta Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos is one of the kings of saying a lot about nothing. He comes across as down-to-earth and understanding of fans' perspectives, but Anthopoulos never gives away what he doesn't want to to the media. Unfortunately, former Braves executive and current Angels general manager Perry Minasian did not quite learn that skill.

Leaving the Braves to run the Angels' front office certainly was risky given owner Arte Moreno's history, but GM positions are few and far between and Minasian jumped at the best opportunity that presented itself.
