gizmo Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Atlanta BravesVerified account@Braves The Braves have dismissed general manager Frank Wren. John Hart has been named as the interim GM. Dumb move IMO. Wren has been regarded as one of the better GMs in baseball. I would only knock him for Uggla and BJ Upton, which were expensive mistakes.

Bret Hart Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I understand Braves' decisions. GM Wren was doing his job as he can. But a couple of huge FA contracts has choked himself as a result. Particularly, FA hitters are so terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Gotta think he gets picked up by another team pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hard to believe the new GM will keep Fredi. Not even Marlins bitterness speaking, he's an awful lineup constructor and bullpen manager. I feel like we have a lot of those around here...

Piazza31 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Damn- I'm upset by this.... Anyone who can make the brave irrelevant should be given an award. I liked him in Atlanta- Cuz, fuck the Braves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Definitely seems odd to let Wren go... I mean its not like the Braves weren't successful with him and seasons like this one, while disappointing, they basically just missed the Wild Card. I'm just saying a lot of GMs would kill for a season like the Braves just had relative to other teams that can't even sniff the playoffs. Someone definitely got tired of just missing the mark I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Surprising IMO considering injuries to their rotation should have made them irrelevant this year and they were able to stay in it most of the year. Upton was a total fuck up, but Uggla had a career year in ATL and was not a total loss. As someone else said, he should be acquired by someone quickly.
