Atlanta Braves1 of 8Nic Antaya/Getty Images Walt WeissPrevious Manager: Brian SnitkerBest Candidate: Walt WeissIt was no real surprise when Snitker stepped down on Wednesday. As for where the Braves go next with the manager's chair, the franchise tends to prefer guys with strong ties to the organization. He played under Bobby Cox from 1998 to 2000, and he started as Snitker's bench coach in 2017. This was after a four-year stint as manager of the Rockies that, at least relative to the last three seasons, doesn't look so bad in retrospect. To this end, Weiss' familiarity with the guys in the clubhouse would figure to be less of a liability and more of an asset.
