Firings watch.

Brian Snitker is out as manager of the Atlanta Braves.

This is questionably a “firing”, as the team says he’s moving into an “advisory role”. He’s been around the organization for 49 years, and won the World Series in 2021.

He posted a record of 811-688 as manager and ranks third in franchise history in wins, trailing Hall of Famer Bobby Cox (2,149) and Frank Selee (1,004).

But Atlanta was 76-87 this season, which seems to have made the retirefiring decision easier.

(I apologize for the ESPN link, but the AJC is unreadable without a subscription. And my attempt to archive the story resulted in garbage.)

Bill Schmidt out as general manager of the Colorado Rockies. That’s the 119 loss Colorado Rockies, for those of you keeping track at home.

Schmidt has been with the organization since 1999, including the past four seasons as general manager. The Rockies turned in their third straight 100-loss season as they missed the postseason for a seventh year in a row.
