Visit Sparks Possible Braves Leader Handoff

It leaks that the purpose of Stallings visit was to persuade the LBisons leader to take charge of the Braves. Stallings, a friend of Boston manager Kling, initially demurred but agreed to discuss terms after being assured a favorable arrangement. It isn’t clear if he signed, yet an understanding with the Boston magnate seems likely, awaiting season’s end for an official announcement.

May Go West As Kling Likely Leaves Braves for Kansas City

The Buffalo reports hint manager Kling may depart the Braves for a three year Kansas City contract. Kling, a top catcher batting above .300, would spend nine months in Kansas City with local management reportedly consenting to his move. If blocked, he may serve as bench manager while pursuing his home-town playing goal.
