In a shocking development, Braves General Manager John Coppolella has resigned today, potentially due to improprieties with acquisitions made in Latin America. Special Assistant Gordon Blakely has also resigned, and the organization is under investigation by Major League Baseball. Yahoo Sports reporter Jeff Passan reports on chaos and infighting in the Braves front office, and the investigation has gone into everything from the Braves’ domestic draft to how the organization treats employees. All signs point to it being one big mess.
So perhaps they need a white knight. Someone with ties to the organization during their glory days.
