Braves re-sign 16-year veteran starter days after DFA him over horrendous outings originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Atlanta Braves haven’t had a great season, especially considering the high expectations placed on them. Manager Brian Snitker has led the Braves to the playoffs since taking over the job. However, with the team struggling this year and his contract expiring, it’s likely that this will be his final 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.
