Braves Predicted to Make Major Brian Snitker Decision Amid Latest Freefall

If Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker wants to finish out a disappointing season, it certainly sounds like he’ll make it to Game 162.

As for 2026? Braves fans should expect to still see Snitker around Truist Park, albeit not in uniform.

USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported on Sunday that Snitker’s “job appears to be safe for the remainder of the season” despite the Braves’ 27-37 record. Atlanta has lost seven straight and entered Monday a shocking 14 games behind the New York Mets in the NL East.

“Snitker’s contract expires after this year when he’s expected to retire as manager and then move into a special assistant role,” Nightengale wrote.
