Offseason[edit]

The Braves offseason really began in the final week of the 2014 season. The Braves were officially eliminated from the postseason contention on Sunday, September 21. On Monday, the Braves announced the termination of General Manager Frank Wren and appointed John Hart as the interim GM.^[1] The Braves would sign Hart a three-year deal to become the Braves President of Baseball Operations a month later.^[2] Hart continued to fill the role of GM throughout the offseason with much help from Assistant GM John Coppolella.
