ATLANTA — The remake of the Atlanta Braves’ management was completed Monday when Alex Anthopoulos was named general manager and John Hart was removed as team president. Anthopoulos, a former Dodgers and Blue Jays executive, will have autonomy of baseball operations, giving him more power than any Braves general manager since John Schuerholz served from 1990 to 2007. Anthopoulos was to fly to Orlando on Monday night to represent the Braves at baseball’s general managers’ meetings. He spent the last two seasons as the Dodgers’ vice-president of baseball operations after six years as Toronto’s general manager. “The past few months have been the toughest in the storied history of the Atlanta Braves franchise,” he said.
