"There is sincere regret in the words of Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker when he mentions what life in baseball has cost him. His son Troy, now a hitting coach for the Houston Astros, played baseball growing up, and Snitker recalls seeing only three innings of Troy's high school career, due to the natural scheduling conflict for someone working in Major League Baseball."
"Snitker will turn 70 next month, and, by all accounts, it's his call as to whether he will return as Atlanta's skipper next season. While he told ESPN, prior to this past "Sunday Night Baseball," that he hasn't made a final decision on that yet, he mentioned spending time with his grandkids and places where he'd like to travel. Friends of Snitker in the game believe that this will be his last year as manager, after 10 years at Atlanta."
Brian Snitker expresses sincere regret about how a baseball career limited witnessing his son Troy's high-school playing time, recalling he saw only three innings. Snitker will turn 70 next month and has not announced a final decision about returning as Atlanta's manager. He mentioned plans to spend time with grandchildren and travel. Friends expect this could be his final season after 10 years, with a likely transition into a Braves front-office role. Snitker's Braves tenure dates to a 1977 free-agent signing as a player. Multiple MLB managerial and general manager openings could emerge as teams prepare for 2026.
