Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe 50-number is something I think it\u2019d be kind of cool,\u201d Snitker told Nightengale. \u201cBut right now, I\u2019m leaning towards getting through today. We\u2019ll play it by ear and see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201c50-number\u201d Snitker mentioned referred to how many years he has been with the Braves franchise. He\u2019s currently in his 10th season as the team\u2019s big-league manager. But Snitker has been tied to the organization since 1977, making this his 49th year with the team.<\/p>\n<p>The Braves signed Snitker as a free agent player in 1977. Snitker played catcher and first base for Atlanta\u2019s minor league teams before being released in 1980.<\/p>\n<p>Despite never making it on the field, Snitker thrived in every other role he\u2019s held within the Braves organization over the years. He spent over two decades coaching various Braves minor league teams. He\u2019s also been the major league team\u2019s bullpen and third base coach.<\/p>\n<p>Snitker finally got his big break in 2017 when he replaced Fredi Gonzalez as Atlanta\u2019s manager. Over his first nine seasons as an MLB manager, Snitker tallied a 735-582 record. His teams made the playoffs in seven of those nine campaigns, highlighted by the Braves\u2019 World Series run in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Snitker had previously stated that 2025 would be his final year with the team, per the report. While the allure of finishing off five full decades may convince him to stick around for at least one more season, it sounds like Snitker\u2019s managerial career may be ending sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One prominent National League manager sounds unsure about coaching beyond this season.
