The [Braves] broke some rules

Post by go birds »

I fully expect the hammer to be dropped on them, citing the precedence set with the cardinals and also the fact they are not the red sox/yankees/cubs
Atlanta Braves general manager John Coppolella has resigned as Major League Baseball investigates whether the team broke rules regarding the international player market.

The Braves released a statement Monday, saying that MLB continues to investigate the matter. John Hart, the Braves' president of baseball operations, will perform the team's GM duties until the team hires a replacement for Coppolella.

No wonder they were able to steal future hall of famer Matt Adams from us.

As punishment they'll have to forfeit Acuna to the Red Sox.

Maybe the Cards could scoop up Coppolella since he's stepping down.

You just know that they made a pact with the devil to get production out of Matt Adams, now its payup time for them.

Serious post: I had to open this thread just to see who the Barves were. I thought it was a reference to... well, I don't know what.

I guess all my synapses aren't firing today.

I'm worse. I didn't notice the typo until you pointed it out.
