This is not the way anyone wanted Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker's final season to go, but it does feel almost inevitable at this point. If Snitker doesn't retire after this season, it would be a significant upset at this point. Even if he decides to come back next season to try and get the stink of 2025 off, there is almost no world where he would stay longer than that and that means the Braves need to start planning for life after he retires.
There are a number of guys who seem like tremendous manager replacement options as well as a few that hopefully the Braves avoid when making their managerial decision.
