Braves hire Adam Fisher as Assistant GM

Moore would be getting out of town just ahead of the mob then.

Has anyone bothered to look at the situation that KC is in? Horrible contracts across the board and the vast majority of its best players about to hit FA with almost no chance they sign back with KC and the minor league system has to be no better than bottom third...

This is probably the price for a small market team to win the World Series these days. Look at a list of recent winners:

Cubs
Royals
Giants
Red Sox
Giants
Cardinals
Giants
Yankees
Phillies
Red Sox
Cardinals
White Sox
Red Sox
Marlins

That list goes back to 2003. The only real small market teams to win it are the Royals and the Marlins. Look what happened to the Fish after they won it in 2003. They went through a massive rebuild.

When you're a small market team you generally have a window that you have to leverage your entire organization to capitalize on.

From Bowman, looks like Dayton Moore may return next year:

"One variable in this decision (retaining Snitker) will be the future of Braves president of baseball operations John Hart, whose current contract expires at the end of this season. There has long been speculation that Royals general manager Dayton Moore could return to Atlanta next year in some capacity. But given the amount of input Hart has had on the recent front office restructuring, it seems he is committed to returning."

Bowman never ceases to amaze when it comes to burying the lede. The conclusion I draw from this is that the Braves recent personnel moves are more indicative of Hart sticking around for at least another year, closing the door on the Dayton Moore angle. I see JS definitely being less involved from this point forward in baseball ops, and likely the same trend line for Hart. Coppy's contract expires after the 2019 season, and I think these moves will position him as the "real GM" for a couple years before his fate is re-evaluated.

I agree. I think if you follow the moves they point to Coppy being able to appoint his own cabinet. Hart will stick around another year. Js should be out golfing more these days.
