While the 2025 Atlanta Braves season was disappointing, Baldwin was routinely a bright spot.

Weiss follows Bobby Cox, Fredi Gonzalez and Brian Snitker as Atlanta's fourth manager in the past 35 years.

For the same reason that Los Angeles Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann was thought to be an appealing candidate, you could say the same of Weiss.

The Atlanta Braves have promoted bench coach Walt Weiss to succeed Brian Snitker as the team’s manager. What do you think of the hire?

Weiss has spent the past eight seasons with the Braves. He’s spent 11 seasons with the franchise overall as a player and coach.

Atlanta is expected to target shortstop in free agency, and the team may look to re-sign the 30-year-old Kim with the free agent pool shallow at the position.

Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann commonly perceived as preferred choice.

Since 1992, major leaguers have voted to acknowledge their peers' achievements. This year, Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and catcher Drake Baldwin won awards.
