I think the biggest takeaway here is that Hart should still be gone. There's no way he wouldn't be aware of this stuff.

I assume it was one of the 5 scouts the Braves fired a few weeks ago. That seems to fit the known timeline perfectly.Originally Posted by Julio3000

Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide

I get that. But I spent a year+ excited to likely get him, spent another year anticipating finally getting to see him play in our system, and now it can all be taken away from us fans because of something that's not the fans' fault. Cheating that frankly all clubs probably participate in to some extent, but apparently Coppy was the one that got snitched on. If MLB had a problem with the rumors of and eventual signing of Maitan, then they should have investigated it two years ago. Sanction the Braves going forward for 2-3 years or whatever.
How is Dayton Moore when it comes to analytics?
Or is he just the same as his mentor and just makes decisions based on the "gut"?
If we lose the #8 pick then we sucked this year for nothing and Snitker was stealing PT away from the kids to win for nothing.

He’s the guy JS wanted as his replacement. He went to KC a year before JS retired and JS went with assistant GM Wren.

He's an old school trust in your gut guy and great friends with Schuerholz and Cox
Which means he is highly likely the next GM.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
In unrelated news, Fredi Gonzalez's name has been mentioned frequently when it comes to the Detroit managerial job.

The most optimistic spin i can put on this collision-course we seem to be on with Dayton Moore . . . maybe he is self-aware enough on his strengths and weaknesses that he'll hire an analytics-savvy GM to run the day-to-day. I suspect that it not the case, but a boy can dream.
Per Bob Nightengale
The same associates of Dayton Moore who believed he was staying with the #Royals before today now believe he likely will leave for #Braves
So many choices and you go with the retread (good old boys club)...this just reeks of shadiness
So, if the difference was under the table to save the Braves on penalties, then fine the Braves 200% of that amount or something equally financially painful. But don't take the player away from the fans at this point.
So if Maitan becomes a FA then do the Braves get that money back?
The disjointed moves during the rebuild certainly make sense now that we know just how divided the Braves FO was.
I was a critic of the FO, but even I couldn't imagine how terrible they were.
I don't think we will ever know what was really going on, who screwed over who, and who to blame for what.
What we do know is the old guard is still in place and looking to add more old guard members.

Hard to believe that Liberty wouldn’t notice an extra 5 mill threw under the table...bundling is believable however
There is no way Coppy gives Maitan million of dollars without Hart and JS knowing.
This is getting ridiculous.

Everyone should be fired. This is embarassing.
Hopefully the new FO is one we can all agree with
First negative word you’ve said about the FO since Wren was fired.

When it's justified I give it
