"The Braves' offseason began in earnest Wednesday, as their managerial search began and they started their roster reset. We should all appreciate what Snitker has meant to this organization over the last 50 years, but also what he has done as manager for the last 8. He brought Atlanta a World Series, managed arguably the greatest offensive team in MLB history, and overall a great stretch of baseball for the franchise."
"That said, it feels like the right time for him as an individual and for the franchise to move forward with a new manager. David Ross feels like the favorite and there are a few in-house candidates that could get interviews, but I wouldn't be surprised for it to be a name that many of us aren't familiar with who fills that role."
Brian Snitker is moving on from the Braves managerial role and will assume a peripheral position within the organization. The team has launched a managerial search and begun a roster reset following a disappointing season. David Ross is viewed as a leading candidate, with several in-house options also likely to receive interviews and the possibility of an unexpected external hire. The roster presents decisions around two starting-caliber catchers, a shortstop vacancy potentially for Ha-Seong Kim, rotation reinforcement needs, and expendable prospect capital alongside available payroll. The Rays have emerged as a potential landing spot for Sean Murphy.
