David Ross Eyes Braves Manager Role After Snitker Departure

UPDATE: Former Atlanta Braves catcher David Ross is eager to return to the team’s dugout following the announcement that manager Brian Snitker will not return after ten seasons. In an urgent statement made just hours ago, Ross expressed his excitement about the possibility of managing the Braves, saying, “It would be amazing.”

Ross, who managed the Chicago Cubs from 2020 to 2023, confirmed his readiness to take on a managerial role again, stating, “I’d love to manage again.” He acknowledged the speculation surrounding his candidacy but noted that he has not been contacted about the position yet. “Hopefully, my name pops up, but we will wait and see on that,” he added.

Snitker, who led the Braves to a remarkable 2021 World Series championship, announced his departure on October 25, 2023. His tenure included an impressive 811 wins and six NL East division titles, but the team finished the 2023 season with a disappointing record of 76-87.

In a heartfelt acknowledgment at a press conference, Braves chairman Terry McGuirk presented Snitker with keys to a new truck and announced a vacation trip for him and his wife, Ronnie, to Hawaii, honoring his significant contributions to the franchise.

Ross, a native of Bainbridge, Georgia, played for the Braves from 2009 to 2012, hitting .273 with seven home runs in his first season with the team. He was a respected figure in the Braves’ clubhouse, stating, “I loved my time there,” which resonates with fans who remember his leadership and dedication.

As the Braves search for Snitker’s replacement, general manager Alex Anthopoulos did not reveal any potential candidates during the announcement. However, early speculation includes former Braves infielder Mark DeRosa, Cubs bench coach Ryan Flaherty, and former Marlins manager Skip Schumaker. Additionally, bench coach Walt Weiss and third base coach Fredi González, both with managerial experience, could be in the mix.

With the MLB offseason fast approaching, all eyes are on the Braves and who will take the helm next. Fans are eager to see if Ross, who had a 262-284 record with the Cubs, will return to his roots in Atlanta. The situation is developing rapidly, and updates are expected soon as the Braves finalize their decision.

As the search continues, the emotional impact of Snitker’s exit is palpable among players and fans alike, with many expressing gratitude for his leadership. The next steps for the Braves will be critical as they aim to reclaim their championship status in the upcoming season.

Stay tuned for more updates on this breaking story as it unfolds.
