Braves Insider Drops Bombshell on Brian Snitker’s Future – Fans Won’t Believe the Ripple Effect

The Atlanta Braves’ 2025 season has been a major letdown, plagued by inconsistency and mounting questions about the team’s direction. Even the recent return of former NL MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. hasn’t stopped the bleeding—Atlanta is mired in a six-game skid, and frustration is boiling over.

Much of the scrutiny has fallen on longtime manager Brian Snitker, whose leadership is under the microscope as the Braves sit at 27-36, a staggering 13 games behind the NL East-leading Mets. With their playoff hopes fading fast, Snitker’s job security has become a hot topic—but MLB insider Ken Rosenthal doesn’t expect a midseason shakeup.

Appearing on *Foul Territory*, Rosenthal pushed back against fan demands for Snitker’s ouster:

*”I know fans don’t want to hear this. They’re screaming for his head, for [GM Alex] Anthopoulos’ head. But I just don’t see a change happening unless Snitker voluntarily steps down—and I don’t expect Brian Snitker to quit on a season.”*

Since taking over as interim manager in 2016, Snitker has been a steady force, leading Atlanta to six division titles and the 2021 World Series crown. But with the Braves floundering, his long-term future is uncertain. While a 2025 dismissal seems unlikely, this disastrous season could mark the end of an era—unless Snitker engineers a stunning turnaround.
