As what could be the final year of Brian Snitker’s time as the Atlanta Braves manager winds down, a potential candidate to succeed him has arisen. According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, former Miami Marlins manager and 2023 National League Manager of the Year Skip Schumaker is expected to be a "strong candidate" for the role
Nightingale noted that Schumaker could also head to the Texas Rangers if Bruce Bochy chooses to retire again.
Schumaker managed the Marlins for two seasons from 2023 to 2024. He managed the Marlins to their second playoff appearance this decade and the first in a non-COVID season since they won the World Series in 2003.
