MAJOR_News: HE’S BACK! Fredi Gonzalez RETURNS to Braves After Nearly a Decade! 👀🔥

Here’s a paraphrased version of the passage:

The Atlanta Braves made a noteworthy coaching shake-up this week, bringing back a familiar face in an effort to spark a turnaround. Fredi González has rejoined the organization as the new third base coach, taking over for Matt Tuiasosopo following a stretch marked by poor baserunning and uneven offense.

It’s González’s first time in a Braves uniform since 2016, when he was let go early in the season and replaced by then-interim manager Brian Snitker. Now, almost ten years later, González returns to work alongside Snitker—though their roles have flipped. With Snitker in the final year of his contract and openly considering retirement, González’s reappearance adds an intriguing layer to a critical season.

The move comes as Atlanta struggles in the standings, currently sitting at 27–31 and in fourth place in the NL East. They trail the first-place Mets by 9.5 games and are just ahead of the Miami Marlins, with both the Phillies and Nationals above them. A disappointing 3–7 record over their last 10 games has only added pressure, making the coaching change all the more timely. The Braves made the announcement via their official X (formerly Twitter) account earlier today.
