WHAT? I hope the best for him and this explanation of stepping down is true. Have always adored his work.

Is it just me, or do the Braves have a really large executive team at this point? They’ve got a Chairman, a HOF GM in a new role as “vice chairman,” a President of Baseball Operations who is also a former GM, a pair of Executive Vice Presidents, and then a GM. Is that typical of most teams at this point given how much the GM job has grown?

Well they are not the Dodgers, haha.

Dodgers are trying to put a team of stats nerds together so they can qualify for the math Olympics. Lol

The headline of this article COMPLETELY gives the wrong impression of what happened here. It leads you to believe Schuerholz has left the organization, which is NOT true. What it should say is “John Schuerholz Steps Down As Braves President, assumes role of Vice Chairman”.

14 straight NL East titles. That is so crazy to think about. Schuerholz deserves it. Enjoy.
Gogerty
Agreed, did a semi interview with him for my undergrad, top notch guy.

It should say “14 straight Division titles.” They weren’t in the east until the expansion year.

The Braves were actually in the NL West until 94.

At least he stayed long enough to make Atlanta terrible again kek

Really? The team is turning it around and has been rebuilt.

Braves are loaded with prospects, led by Swanson. I see them competing in ’17. In a division like the NL East, ’17 could be the year of any team, except the Phillies.

This is the second best news that you could possibly hear about the Braves. The only thing better would have been if Fredi Gonzalez were to have resigned or been fired. Schuerholz did a LOT for the Braves during that dominant 14 year run but as much as he helped us he also nourished an environment (along w/Bobby Cox) that accepted mediocrity. They were content with the division and never truly focused on the World Series. He was also equally responsible for the Frank Wren debacle. I’ve wanted him to step aside for several years now. It’s long past due
