Brian Snitker Considers His Future with the Atlanta Braves
The Atlanta Braves manager, Brian Snitker, has opened the possibility of returning to the team’s dugout next season. After a disappointing campaign in 2025, Snitker, 69 years old, is evaluating his possible continuity. Snitker is in the last year of his contract. He has managed the Braves since 2016, achieving six National League East Division titles and the 2021 World Series.The recent 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs left Atlanta with a 65-81 record, meaning the team will not participate in the postseason for the first time since 2017. Snitker admitted that this is difficult to accept, which has complicated his decision to retire, as many anticipated.I’ve been thinking about it a lot. I’m not one hundred percent sure which direction I want to take.

The final decision on Snitker’s renewal will rest with the Braves’ management. General Manager Alex Anthopoulos, when asked about Snitker’s future, did not provide details on the team’s position, stating that “Snit will be in this organization forever” and that possible replacements have not been discussed.I still feel like there are unfinished matters.
Brian Snitker
Absolutely not. I would never do that. I think it’s something completely disrespectful to do or even consider. He is the team manager, and that hasn’t even crossed my mind.
