Braves extend manager Brian Snitker

The Atlanta Braves today signed manager Brian Snitker to a contract extension through the 2025 season.

Snitker, 67, guided the Braves to 101 wins and the club’s fifth consecutive NL East division crown last season, one year after helping the organization win the fourth World Series title in franchise history. He finished third in the Manager of the Year voting in 2022, after winning the award in 2018. He also was a finalist for the honor in 2019, and finished fourth in 2020 and 2021. 

Snitker completed his 46th season in the Braves organization in 2022, and his sixth full campaign as the Braves manager. He took over on an interim basis on May 17, 2016, before being named Atlanta’s manager on October 11, 2016. The native of Decatur, IL, joined the organization as a non-drafted free agent in 1977.

the fourth World Series title in franchise history

Well, modern World Series title, anyway. The Braves also won the "World Series" in the split 1892 campaign over Cleveland, and were de facto world champions in 1877, 1878, 1883, 1891 and 1893, when they won the National League pennant and there was no postseason playoff.
