After months of internal (and external) debate, the Braves officially picked up the option of manager Brian Snitker on Thursday.
It will mark Snitker’s 42nd year in the Braves organization. Current and former Braves went to bat for Snitker, who’s highly regarded as a players’ manager.
However, not everybody was thrilled. The decision has been met with mixed reviews.
