Entering the year as presumed playoff locks, the Braves now find themselves far from a Wild Card spot with just a month and a half remaining. With the team\u2019s struggles and Brian Snitker in the final year of his contract, this could signal the end of an era in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\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&#8217;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<p>The Braves have made the playoffs for several consecutive years, but that streak appears likely to end. As a result, one name being floated as a possible replacement for Snitker is David Ross.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Braves clearly have an affinity with players that have been apart of the organization in the past, and David Ross fits that billing, spending four seasons with the club from 2009\u20132012. Ross was most recently the manager for the Chicago Cubs, where he won a World Series as a player,\u201d ATL Sports Talk wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Ross\u2019s first stint as manager of the Cubs didn\u2019t end as anyone hoped. Despite public support, the organization made a surprising move.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chicago Cubs fired manager David Ross and hired Craig Counsell on Monday. The longtime Milwaukee Brewers manager was lured to Chicago with a record-setting five-year, $40 million contract, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Jeff Passan wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp<\/p>\n<p>If Ross ends up with the Braves, he would inherit a team with considerable star power. This season, however, Atlanta\u2019s biggest issue has been pitching\u2014a vital component of any successful team. That said, Ross is no stranger to the Braves&#8217; culture and would step into a clubhouse he already knows well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is likely the end of the road for Brian Snitker.
