There are few figures more universally beloved in Atlanta Braves circles than Brian Snitker.
Snitker, 69, has been in the Braves organization for nearly 50 years. He's been the manager of the major league team since 2016, and he's mostly seen success, capped off by a World Series title in 2021.
Managers like Snitker often get to go out on their own terms. But the Braves' slow start to the 2025 season has introduced some unexpected variables.
Plus, there's been a noteworthy public dispute this season, in which superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. called out Snitker for a double standard when teammate Jarred Kelenic wasn't benched due to lack of hustle.
