Braves Hire Walt Weiss as Their Next Manager
The Atlanta Braves announced on Monday that they hired Walt Weiss as their new manager. Weiss, who has served as the team's long-time bench coach, will be promoted to manager after the team parted ways with former manager Brian Snitker following a disappointing 2025 campaign that ended without a playoff appearance. The 61-year-old managed the Colorado Rockies from 2013-16, going 283-365 and never finishing higher than third place in the National League West. The Braves still have a strong core led by former MVP Ronald Acuna Jr., first baseman Matt Olson, third baseman Austin Riley, and young catcher Drake Baldwin, but they finished 76-86 in 2025 and were hurt by major injuries to key players. They also still have pitchers Chris Sale, Spencer Strider, and Spencer Schwellenbach. Weiss joined the Braves as their bench coach in 2018 and has served under Snitker since then.
