Nightengale added more.
Alex Anthopoulos, who two years ago was honored as Executive of the Year at these GM meetings, will return Tuesday to rejoin his peers in Orlando after being introduced today in Atlanta as the #Braves new GM

Nightengale finished his thoughts on the news.
The #Braves, who will officially introduce Alex Anthopoulos today as their GM, never did seek permission from the #Nats to interview Dan Jennings or Doug Harris. They focused on Dayton Moore of #Royals and Anthopoulos
