Braves News: Chipper Jones out as manager, Division Series begin, and more
"Amidst the Atlanta Braves managerial buzz, Hall of Famer Chipper Jones told 680 The Fan that he has no interest in managing his former club. He did, however, make mention of possibly joining the staff as a hitting coach. It would not be Jones' first appearance on the staff. Beginning in 2021, he took on a part-time role as the Braves' hitting consultant. So, while Jones has ruled out managing the team, there is still a possibility he serves the team in some capacity."
"Matt Olson was named the Battery Power Braves Player of the Year. The Division Series begin this afternoon, starting with the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers at 2:08 ET. The Texas Rangers hired Skip Schumaker as manager. In 2023, Schumaker was honored with the NL Manager of the Year award. Former Brave Kurt Suzuki has reportedly interviewed for the San Francisco Giants' managerial role. He has worked with the Los Angeles Angels for the past three seasons as a special assistant."
