Everybody has been clamoring for changes in the current Atlanta Braves coaching staff. Alex Anthopoulos was apparently listening.
This isn’t a straight dismissal as Matt Tuiasosopo has been removed as third base coach but has been demoted to minor league coordinator. There have been some questionable decisions to send runners in the last month or so, and for some folks’ tastes some non-sends as well. Matt began his coaching career with the Rome Braves in 2019, moved on to the Gwinnett Stripes in 2021, and has been third base coach in Atlanta starting with the 2024 season.
To replace him is a man who doesn’t need an introduction.
