Up until Wednesday, the silence around Brian Snitker's retirement was deafening. No one with the Atlanta Braves was willing to say anything one way or the other and even Braves front office head Alex Anthopoulos refused to comment on Snitker's future in a recent interview beyond that Snitker would always be a part of the Braves and that he wasn't going to create more speculation until Snitker himself weighed in. Well, that changed Wednesday afternoon.
Clearly all of the questions around whether or not Snitker would retire at season's end got noticed by the man himself.
