Overview

• Brian Snitker, 69 and in the final year of his contract, said he is not 100 percent sure about his next step and referenced unfinished business after a 3-2 loss to the Cubs.
• Atlanta sits at 65-81 and has been officially eliminated from the postseason, ending a streak of playoff appearances that began in 2018.
• GM Alex Anthopoulos said Snitker will always be part of the organization but declined to commit to his managerial role or entertain replacement discussions.
• The season unraveled under a wave of injuries that sidelined five Opening Day starters, compounded by Jurickson Profar’s first‑half PED suspension.
• External speculation about successors continues, with catcher Travis D’Arnaud mentioned as a possible candidate, though the team has not confirmed any evaluations.
