“To everyone who supports the Atlanta Braves and to everyone who loves the game of baseball, I am deeply sorry,” Coppolella said in his statement. I am heartbroken that in this case my conduct has done the opposite for the Atlanta Braves organization. The 38-year-old Coppolella moved up quickly through the Braves organization, becoming general manager at the end of the 2015 season. Coppolella hasn’t discussed his future plans beyond baseball, but he does have a business management degree from Notre Dame. The Braves, meanwhile, hired former Toronto Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos to fully run their baseball operations.
