Overview
- Atlanta has not named a successor to Brian Snitker, who stepped down on Oct. 1 to become a senior advisor.
- MLB.com and The Athletic report that Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann has emerged as the leading candidate, aided by his past overlap with Anthopoulos in Los Angeles.
- Multiple reports indicate the Braves are delaying a hire until Lehmann completes his World Series duties, which could push an announcement into November.
- Selecting Lehmann would signal a move toward a younger, analytics-driven leader despite his lack of prior managerial experience.
- The search remains open, with names such as Walt Weiss, George Lombard and Ryan Flaherty discussed, while some previously linked candidates are no longer viewed as active.
