"Well the Braves are presumably actively pursuing managerial candidates now, although the Anthopoulos front office notoriously runs a tight ship. David Ross has been a candidate often mused about, but I do wonder if he's too much of the same and not enough of a modern tactician. Of course, managing the egos and relationships of professional baseball players of many financial situations and backgrounds is crucial to the job of manager, in-game tactics are an important aspect of the job as well."
"Of the names tossed around, George Lombard sticks out to me as possibly the best option to me who could combine personnel management and modern coaching tactics, with some Braves flavor to boot. Lombard is a respected bench coach in Detroit, has Atlanta ties both personally and for the Braves, and experience coaching in the analytically-minded Dodgers organization."
"Perhaps the most plugged-in member of the Atlanta Braves' media ecosystem, Mark Bowman published a list of potential candidates for the manager position, though it's fair to wonder if this information is sourced or speculative. The Tigers blew out the Mariners and the Cubs scraped by the Brewers, as both teams kept their postseason hopes alive, the Mariners forcing a game 5."
Atlanta is pursuing managerial candidates while the Anthopoulos front office maintains tight control. David Ross appears frequently as a candidate but may prioritize traditional leadership over modern tactical innovation. Managing player egos, relationships, and diverse financial backgrounds is essential, alongside in-game tactical decisions. George Lombard represents a candidate combining personnel management and contemporary coaching methods, with Detroit bench coach experience, Atlanta ties, and time in the analytically minded Dodgers organization. Mark Bowman published a list of potential candidates, though the sourcing of that list may be uncertain. The Tigers defeated the Mariners decisively, and the Cubs narrowly beat the Brewers, with the Mariners forcing a fifth game.
