Brian Snitker Considers His Future with the Atlanta Braves
The Atlanta Braves’ manager, Brian Snitker, has left open the possibility of returning to the team’s dugout next season. He stated this on Wednesday, revealing that the disappointing 2025 season has led him to consider his continuation. Snitker, 69, is in the final year of his contract. He has managed the Braves since 2016, guiding them to six National League East titles and victory in the 2021 World Series.Wednesday’s loss to the Chicago Cubs, which ended with a score of 3-2, left Atlanta with a record of 65-81. This means the team will miss the postseason for the first time since 2017. Snitker admitted that it is difficult to accept, which explains why the idea of retiring, as many anticipated, has not been an easy decision.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, should he wish to continue, will rest with the Braves’ management. When asked about Snitker’s future earlier in the week, general manager Alex Anthopoulos did not offer details about the team’s plans, limiting himself to saying that “Snit will be in this organization forever” and that possible candidates to replace him have not been discussed.I still feel like there are unfinished matters.

Absolutely not. I would never do that. I think it’s something completely disrespectful even to consider. He is the team manager, and that hasn’t even crossed my mind.
