Braves likely to hire Brian Snitker’s successor in coming days, delay could risk offseason chaos originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Atlanta Braves are heading into an offseason that could go in several directions. The team is coming off its worst season in quite some time, which has brought changes that were expected in the latter half of the year. Most notably, Brian Snitker will no longer be the manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of that consistent recent success, Snit would normally be afforded a \u2018mulligan\u2019 year\u2014even 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,\u201d Bleacher Report\u2019s Kerry Miller wrote. \u201cAt 69, though, he’s already the oldest manager in the National League by a several-year margin and was likely to retire at the end of this season, which is the last one in his current contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Braves are reportedly gaining a front-runner in the race: Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann, his candidacy has seemingly strengthened over the past couple weeks. Lehmann was Los Angeles\u2019 advance video scout when Anthopoulos was with the Dodgers from 2016-17. The two have remained in contact over the years that have followed,\u201d Braves insider Mark Bowman wrote. \u201cWith the Dodgers set to begin their World Series battle against the Blue Jays on Friday, Lehmann\u2019s candidacy could lead to the Braves waiting into November before announcing their next manager.\u201d<\/p>\n

Free agency is just a few days away, which adds urgency to Atlanta\u2019s search for a new manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile many look to Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann because the Braves have waited this long, we still have to wait and see if this is who their top choice actually is,\u201d SI\u2019s Harrison Smajovitts wrote. \u201cThat being said, it’s hard to imagine it take too much longer to make their decision. They’re going to want to know who their manager is when they go about their offseason plans.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Braves now face mounting urgency in hiring their next manager. GM Alex Anthopoulos initially emphasized that the team would take its time, but a month later, the clock is ticking. If Atlanta wants a successful offseason in the player department, someone will need to be hired quickly.<\/p>\n
