Why did Leo Massoni leave the Atlanta Braves and where did he go?

It was time to move on and he is friends with the manager of the Baltimore Orioles and decided to coach in Baltimore

Kevin Dineen. He retired in 2002 from the Columbus Blue Jackets.

That's not such a good idea. It's almost pathetic to cheer for your cross-town rivals just to have some fortune in your baseball life.\n\nI NEVER rooted for the Braves when they made the playoffs. Go METS in '06!

he was only offered a minor league $300,000 contract with invitation to spring training by the Nationals. Sammy Sosa has too much pride to take that deal so he decided to retire instead of being embarrassed. He moved back to the Dominican Republic where he is still loved.

Most definitely, the run is over..... HOWEVER, that team has got a ton of nice, young talent.  There are plenty of guys on the farm & rookies on the MLB team already that will help the Braves reclaim their throne.\n\nReitsma, Ray?  Give Devine another chance!  Reitsma had like 50 chances for god's sake.

No in 2005 he played with the Baltimore Orioles. The Nationals offered him a minor league contract and an offer for spring training which Sosa turned down making retirement likely. On February 15, his agent said "We're not going to put him on the retirement list, we decided that [not putting him on that list] was the best thing to do. But I can say, with reasonable certainty, that we've seen Sammy in a baseball uniform for the last time." If it is the end of his career, he finishes just 12 runs of 600 career home runs,

He was released by the Cubs in early April, and he's not currently playing in any team's minor league system.  I suspect he's out of baseball.

He just retired form Giants this spring.

I have been a Braves fan through the worst of years. Years when they really knew how to loose (I am talking about those years prior to '91 when the streak of division titles began). I have seen them come back from worse deficits with worse teams. I am not worried yet. If they are still this far behind in July/August, then I may worry. All you have to do is go to Turner Field and look at those banners and you can see a season where everyone swore they weren't going to win for one reason or another (They lost Wholers so who's going to close? They lost Glavin and Maddox, is their starting pitching going to crumble? Smoltz wants to go back to the starting rotation, who's going to close?). There's always something. But, at the end of the season, there's always a banner.

No it's not Cox's fault the Braves are losing. He does the best with what he's given. This season he was given a team that has poor pitching that is something that he cannot change. Only the GM can change that by acquiring some good pitching either by trade or through free agency.

It may have been Ken Caminitti. He played briefly for the Rangers, and I think he went back to the National League. He did die from a heart attack a few years ago, probably caused by his years of alcohol, drug, and steroid abuse. Sad.

If Mays and Aaron had switched and, had Mays played in County Stadium and then Atlanta's launching pad stadium (hey, in one year, 4 different Braves each hit over 40 homers) - then we would be talking about Bonds chasing his godfathers' record !!!

I'm a huge Mets fan. This is there year baby! And the Braves are in last. Stinks for them.

This is not the same Atlanta team that has dominated the NL East the past decade or so. I think they have dug a deep hole and probably aren't good enough to come back to win the East title again this year. And there are lots of good teams vying for the wildcard, so I wouldn't bet on the Braves to make the playoffs at all this year.\n\n(Note to previous answerer - the Braves play in the NL East, not the AL East with the Yankees and Red Sox.)\n\nThat said, how many years have the Braves been counted out or finally picked to lose the division, only to win it once again? I don't expect them to make the playoffs, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

On March 29, 1997 the Braves beat the Yankees 2-0 in an exibition game. The Braves played the Chicago Cubs and beat them 5-4 in the first REGULAR SEASON game.   \nThe last game at Fulton County was Oct 24, 1996 in the World Series against the Yankees.  It was game 5 and Atlanta lost 1-0.\nThe last regular season game was Sept. 23 1996 against the Montreal Expos. The Braves won 3-1.\n\nSatisfied?

He retired in 2005 after playing his entire career with the Reds.  He currently has a job working with the Washington Nationals as the Special Assistant to the General Manager.

I didnt see why they left go of Casey. Pitching is where the Reds need help! They better keep Adam Dunn and hopefully Griffey Jr. will stay healthy! I wouldnt count on the World Series this year.
