Brian Snitker is no longer manager of the Braves

No surprise here: Brian Snitker and the Braves have decided it's best to make room for another manager going forward.

Snitker, who had been managing since 2016 and has been with the organization for 49 seasons, will therefore spend his 50th campaign in baseball as an advisor to the Braves organization.

Brian Snitker will not return as manager of the Atlanta Braves, sources tell ESPN. He informed the team of his decision yesterday. But he will remain with the organization in a senior advisory capacity.

In the end, Snitker will have had a great deal of success in Atlanta and will be recognized as a manager who won the World Series. He'll also be inducted into the club's Hall of Fame, I'm sure.

That said, after a difficult campaign, the Braves will be looking elsewhere to manage the club. And the mandate will be a big one, since the Braves intend to have a pretty good club by 2026.

Who will be Alex Anthopoulos' man? We don't know. But we do know that if the club goes looking for pitchers, the manager's job will be quite attractive.

In addition to the Braves, the Rangers, Twins, Giants and Angels are looking for a manager. The Nationals, Orioles and Rockies have an interim man, and a club like the Astros is the talk of the town.

It's also unclear whether any of the 12 playoff teams will make a change in the event of an ugly performance at the biggest moment.
