Braves' disappointing $42M All-Star to miss Cubs series on paternity list amid season of absences originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Atlanta Braves haven’t had the season they were hoping for, and as the year winds down, manager Brian Snitker is believed to be nearing the end of his tenure. The Braves are not expected to offer Snitker another contract, which has fueled speculation that he may retire.
“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.
