Overview

  • The Braves announced Wednesday that the 69-year-old will leave the dugout and transition to a senior advisory role for next season.
  • Snitker informed the club of his decision on Tuesday, according to ESPN, after his contract expired at season’s end.
  • He spent 10 seasons as manager and compiled an 811-668 record with six NL East titles, seven postseason berths and the 2021 World Series crown.
  • The 2025 team finished 76-86 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2017, a context frequently cited in coverage of the move.
  • The opening is expected to be highly sought, and media reports have floated potential candidates such as bench coach Walt Weiss and former Cubs manager David Ross.
