Coppy gone : TL/DR every Frank Wren's brother said appears to be true

Can MLB organizations get the death penalty? Knowing our luck, we'll be the first.

Before the Dayton Moore rumor mill gets to warp speed, know this: The Braves' GM job, especially if Hart goes, is exceedingly coveted.

I'm good with massive shake up in that org. It's been shite for decades now.

Eh, the reason it's such an attractive job (as noted above) is because they stockpiled talent recently. However, I guess we now aren't sure whether that was done legally or not.

Whatever, I just want to win again. Bring somebody in who knows what they are doing and keep the train chugging forward.

So...guessing we get banned from signing international players for a year like the Red Sox?

Sounds like some serious shenanigans, so probably something along those lines.

It's funny, my first thought was OH SHITE WE'RE FRICKED then I realized this isn't college football and that they can't take players away from us.

try again...Red Sox lost 5 prospects they had signed

Of course - but GENERALLY it's lower level $300K level players.

However, all the reports seem to be that things were bad. So, they'll probably snatch everybody. Cause, of course they will.

Will wonders never cease.Im SURE they'll loads of teams lining up to hire em as a GM,correct????

Considering it sounds like we are in hot water with MLB I'd say no.

However, per media reports there are people lined up to take his job due to the insane depth of talent in our organization right now. So, for all his faults, you can't deny that.

Sadly doubt it until the 90s brain trust is booted. Sounds like to me they make the decisions and the GM is a puppet for them.

It sounds like this investigation actually goes back to when Schuerholz was GM so this might be what puts him in the home.

If anyone feels like Hart and Schuerholz did not fully know about whatever happened in Latin America, I have ocean front property in Kansas for you. They have long known and it should be the end for John Schuerholz.

In retrospective a full rebuild was likely not necessary. The first mistake was made in letting go of the veteran voices of the 2013 team and not replacing them. The second mistake was going full scorched earth on just about everyone Frank Wren related.

It's not that the 2014 Braves team wasn't talented enough, they were. They did not have a veteran voice because of no Hudson or McCann. And that was the main difference.

Everything I'm reading, even if some of it is false is just absolutely awful. It makes you wonder, who's in charge in the Braves FO? Is it the General Manager or is it John Schuerholz? If it's half true, it sounds like the GM has basically been John Schuerholz in name even after he retired and he might as well come out and say he's the GM. If it's something he doesn't like, he pushes back against it.
