The Braves signed manager Brian Snitker to a two-year extension with an option for 2021:
Four decades of service awarded Snitker the Braves’ managerial job. What he’s done since earned him only the second multi-year contract of his life.
The Braves extended Snitker for two seasons, with a club option for 2021, the parties announced Monday. Snitker, who turns 63 on Wednesday, is a favorite for National League manager of the year after guiding the Braves to 90 wins and an NL East title.
“I’ve been around long enough to know you’re never guaranteed tomorrow in this business,” Snitker said. “But I felt good about it. In conversations with (general manager) Alex (Anthopoulos) and staff, meetings we had, I felt confident based on our year and the progression that we made, I’d be asked back.”
Snitker did an excellent job of bringing a young Braves team to the playoffs faster than expected. This was a well deserved reward.
