Report: Alex Anthopoulos to be named GM of Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves will make Alex Anthopoulos their new general manager, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.

Sherman had previously reported that Anthopoulos was the Braves’ Plan B after Kansas City Royals GM Dayton Moore.

Anthopoulos had been serving as the vice-president of baseball operations for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but was the GM of the Toronto Blue Jays from 2009-15, leading the team to its first 90-win season since 1993.

The hiring is expected to be announced at the GM meetings this coming week, according to Sherman.

The Braves have been without a GM ever since John Coppolella resigned on Oct. 2 after MLB found proof of significant international market infractions Atlanta made with regards to free agents.
