It’s the offseason for the majority of Major League Baseball, and it wasted zero time getting to a major story.
Atlanta Braves GM John Coppolella and one of his assistants were forced to resign for reasons that are still emerging. The braves.com article gives the official reasoning for the moment:
Coppolella was forced to resign from his position as the Braves general manager on Monday, after an MLB investigation found proof of significant international market infractions. Gordon Blakeley, who served as Coppolella's mentor during their days with the Yankees, was also forced to vacate his role as a special assistant in charge of the Braves' international scouting efforts.
