"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."
The Braves cannot sign free agents for one month due to current transaction restrictions. Brian Snitker, with 49 years in the Atlanta organization, will enter a 50th year but not as the team's manager. Snitker managed the Braves since 2016, compiling over 800 wins, six division titles, and a World Series championship. Organizational communication earlier allowed Snitker to determine his retirement timing and suggested ongoing ties, but no managerial return or contract extension was confirmed. Team personnel and media are heading to Truist Park as the situation develops.
