"Current manager Brian Snitker, who has only a team option year left on his contract, is said to be uncertain to return. If they do change managers, word is they would pick from current coach Ron Washington and front office executive Bo Porter, two in-house candidates who interviewed for the job when Snitker was extended through the year.
Snitker has an option for 2018, and while he is beloved throughout the organization and higher-ups also appreciate the improvement made since Snitker took over for Fredi Gonzalez (Atlanta was 9-28 under Gonzalez in his final year before finishing 59-65 last season, and has a record of 65-78 this season), they may decide that either Washington or Porter fits their mold better. If Snitker is replaced, he’d be expected to stay in the organization, where he’s worked dutifully for four decades."
Leave it to Atlanta to possibly get rid of one old, anti-statistics player's manager to look at two more people of the same ilk. You may as well keep Snitker for 2018, let him go then, and re-assess the available managers in 2019. I would love for the Braves to look at Dave Martinez in the Cubs organization.
