MLB union unhappy with Braves GM's 'connecting' comment

NEW YORK (AP) -- Two days into the free agent market, the players' association already is angry at a club.

Union head Tony Clark issued a statement Wednesday in response to remarks attributed to Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos during a conference call with media.

''Every day you get more information. And we've had time to connect with 27 of the clubs - obviously the Astros and (Nationals) being in the World Series, they were tied up - but we had a chance to get a sense of what the other clubs are going to look to do in free agency, who might be available in trades,'' Anthopoulos said, according to the union.
