The Atlanta Braves have become one of the worst teams in baseball this season, a surprising falloff after making the MLB playoffs for the past seven years. Injuries have plagued their pitching staff, and the offense has struggled at times. Even manager Brian Snitker is likely on his way out after this season.
“Because of that consistent recent success, Snit would normally be afforded a ‘mulligan’ year—even though going from the second-best preseason World Series odds to possibly the third-best odds of winning the draft lottery is a pretty serious mulligan,” Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller wrote.
