Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos misses World Series celebration after positive COVID-19 test
The Atlanta Braves clinched the 2021 World Series title with a 7-0 win over the Houston Astros in Game 6 on Tuesday night. Not present for the game and ensuing celebration, however, was Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos.
Anthopoulos told Hazel Mae that he was not able to attend after he tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday:
"I wanted to keep it quiet to not take any chance that I would be a distraction before the end of the series," Anthopoulos told Olney via text. "I'm totally fine. I watched with the whole family at home. Very happy."
Anthopoulos also said he thinks he will be able to attend the team's championship parade on Friday.
Anthopoulos' in-season moves played a major factor in the team's title victory. Two of his biggest acquisitions came at the deadline: Eddie Rosario, whom the Braves acquired from the Cleveland Indians, won NLCS MVP honors, while Jorge Soler, who came over from the Kansas City Royals, was World Series MVP. 먹튀검증
The Braves are the first team to have the league championship MVP and World Series MVP play for a different team in the same season.
