ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The Atlanta Braves have announced Brian Snitker, who led one of Major League Baseball’s cornerstone franchises to six consecutive division titles from 2018-23 and a World Series championship in 2021, will not manage the team next season.

Snitker, who turns 70 on Oct. 17, has spent 49 seasons with the Braves organization, serving in a variety of roles including player, coach, instructor and managing the club since 2016.

Throughout the 2025 season, it was widely assumed it would be Snitker’s last as manager. But Snitker left the possibility of continuing to manage in 2026, expressing how there was some “unfinished business here,” following an injury-ravaged season that resulted in the Braves’ first losing record since 2017.
