Brian Snitker, who managed the Atlanta Braves to the 2021 World Series championship as the highlight of almost a half-century with the organization, will not return to the dugout next season.
The Braves announced Thursday that the 69-year-old Snitker will move to an advisory role and will be inducted into the team’s hall of fame next year.
Snitker has been with the organization for 49 years as a long-time minor-league manager, major-league coach and finally major-league manager.
Snitker led Atlanta to 811 wins, six NL East division titles and the 2021 World Series championship in his 10 seasons as manager.
The team has scheduled a news conference for later Thursday.
