LISTEN: Anthopoulos on surprising Braves and plans going forward

After three consecutive seasons with at least 90 losses during the team’s much-chronicled rebuilding project, the Braves have turned things around in their first season with Alex Anthopoulos as general manager, sitting in first place in the National League East and on pace for 95 wins.

Do they “go for it” now, stick to the original long-range plan and continue building for the future, or maybe both? Find out in this informative interview.
