"The Braves are expected to move two executives into assistant general manager roles, reports David O'Brien of The Athletic. Michael Schwartze will be promoted to assistant GM, player personnel. Adam Sonabend will be promoted to assistant GM, major league operations. Prior to coming to Atlanta, Schwartze spent seven years with San Francisco. He joined the organization as an analyst in 2018, eventually working his way up to senior director, baseball analytics in 2024."
"The Braves hired Schwartze after the 2024 season as vice president, player personnel. Sonabend was most recently vice president, major league operations. He spent three minor league seasons as a catcher in the Giants organization."
"It's been a busy week for Atlanta. The club tabbed Walt Weiss as its new manager on Monday. Pitching coach Jeremy Hefner and first base coach Antoan Richardson joined Weiss' staff on Wednesday. The Braves added Tony Mansolino as third base coach and J.P. Martinez as bullpen coach earlier today."
"Atlanta is looking to bounce back from its first sub-.500 season since 2017. The team ended a seven-year streak of postseason appearances. Longtime manager Brian Snitker stepped aside at the end of the season, though he remains in the organization in an advisory role."
