Today’s news that Braves’ general manager John Coppolella as well as special assistant Gordon Blakeley due to MLB’s investigation hit the Braves’ organization and its fans very hard this morning. While the possible violations were unknown, that a general manager and another executive would resign over them meant that the details could not be good.
As it turns out, it could be worse than we thought.
Passan’s report has a ton of details and is extremely well-done...we highly recommend that you look at it as it details a chaotic atmosphere in the front office where ambition and infighting was more commonplace than we could have imagined even a month ago.
