An offseason full of change is looming for the franchise, and it could very well start with a major shift at the manager position. Brian Snitker is in the final year of his contract and appears increasingly likely to retire.<\/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>At the trade deadline, the Braves were expected to move several players. One of those was designated hitter Marcell Ozuna. However, he reportedly vetoed trade offers from three different teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to my source, they tried to trade him to 3 teams but he vetoed all of them,\u201d Braves insider Ryan Cothran posted.<\/p>\n<p>This is intriguing, but it&#8217;s possible those offers came from teams not in playoff contention. It\u2019s also possible that Ozuna deferred trade discussions entirely to his agent, and no deal materialized.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s possible that while Anthopoulos was discussing trades, he couldn\u2019t agree on a deal that Ozuna\u2019s agent could also sign off on. Just because Ozuna is leaving the deadline out of his hands doesn\u2019t mean the 10-5 rights go out the window. He could have simply handed over those rights to his agent for the discussions,\u201d SI\u2019s Harrison Smajovits wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp<\/p>\n<p>Ozuna has been a major offensive contributor since arriving in 2020, but this season has fallen short of expectations. He could have been competing for a championship elsewhere, but ultimately chose to remain in Atlanta. While the Braves are unlikely to bring him back this offseason, he passed up three separate opportunities to finish the season with a different team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Braves were expected to move some pieces around at the trade deadline, however, that didn&#8217;t turn out.
