The Atlanta Braves unexpectedly announced a coaching staff change on Monday night, hiring former manager Fredi Gonzalez as their new third base coach while letting go of Matt Tuiasosopo. General Manager Alex Anthopoulos, known for his reluctance to make in-season coaching changes, decided a shift was necessary due to Tuiasosopo's performance linked to the team's difficulties. The Braves aim to invigorate their roster and improve their base-running strategies as the season progresses, reflecting an urgent response to current challenges.
Alex Anthopoulos, in his 14th year as a GM, had never made an in-season coaching staff change. He doesn't believe in pinning struggles on coaches.
Fredi Gonzalez has been hired as the third base coach to work under former third base coach and current Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker.
