Overview

• Atlanta finished 65-81 and is out of the postseason for the first time since 2017.
• Manager Brian Snitker, 69 and in the final year of his contract, said he is undecided about returning and described having “unfinished business.”
• GM Alex Anthopoulos said Snitker will remain tied to the organization and that potential replacements have not been discussed.
• Snitker moved Ronald Acuña Jr. to the sixth and seventh spots in recent games, drawing sharp criticism from national analysts who called the move counterproductive.
• Media outlets have floated speculative Yankees trade packages for Acuña as Anthopoulos reiterated that player-option calls come after the World Series, leaving Ozzie Albies’ status uncertain.
