The Braves can’t sign free agents for a month, but they are definitely reportedly making news at this hour
Brian Snitker, who has been with the Atlanta Braves organization for 49 years, will get a 50th year. According to Jeff Passan and Mark Bowman, it will not be as manager of the team. Snitker, who has been manager of the Braves since 2016 and won over 800 games, won 6 division titles, and won a World Series, will not be back.
This is a moderate “wow”. Alex Anthopoulos said earlier this year that Brian Snitker would be allowed to decide when he would retire. He also said that he would always be a part of the organization. However, he did stop short of saying that he would actually return or extend an offer.
We will have more. We have our people on the way to Truist Park at this hour.
