The Atlanta Braves search for a new manager has had a lot of twists and turns. For a while, internal options like Walt Weiss felt like the logical choice, but then most of the reporting turned to external options while completely discounting the internal ones. Danny Lehmann was a popular name on the rumor mill as was David Ross, Mark DeRosa, John Gibbons, and several others. While it sounded earlier on Monday like the field had narrowed slightly, things took a real turn Monday evening.
With so much chatter about who will replace the recently retired Brian Snitker, it was a given that fans were going to be posting their opinions on Twitter/X and making sure the various Braves beat writers saw their thoughts.
