It marks the toughest stretch of Brian Snitker\u2019s managerial tenure\u2014and with this being the final year of his contract, speculation is growing that it could be his last season at the helm 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>With uncertainty around Snitker\u2019s future, the Braves may already be considering potential replacements\u2014and one name generating buzz is Mark DeRosa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMark DeRosa grew up in the Braves farm system and spent his first seven seasons with the club. He\u2019s yet to try his hand at managing in Major League Baseball since retiring as a player in 2013, but he has been the manager for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Given he\u2019s currently got a pretty good gig over at MLB Network, it won\u2019t be easy to convince him to get off the couch. However, perhaps he might be more willing to do so for a familiar organization like the Braves,\u201d ATL Sports Talk wrote.<\/p>\n<p>While DeRosa has never managed at the MLB level, his familiarity with the Braves organization could work in his favor\u2014a factor Atlanta has often leaned into. With the regular season winding down, it should soon become clear whether the Braves will offer Snitker a new deal. If not, DeRosa could emerge as a serious candidate for the job.<\/p>\n<p>Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Braves are likely to let Brian Snitker go after his contract expires.
