00:00Braves snicker close to milestone, Atlanta DFA's utility man.
00:05The Atlanta Braves' nightmare 2025 season dragged on with yet another series loss,
00:10this time to the Seattle Mariners, who piled up runs like it was batting practice.
00:15Atlanta fans have seen enough misery to last a lifetime this year,
00:19and the only silver lining might be the front office's chance to regroup this offseason
00:23and the likelihood of landing a top-five draft pick next summer.
00:27However, beyond that, there has been some important news circulating around the organization in recent days.
00:34First, manager Brian Snitker is on the doorstep of a career milestone.
00:39The 68-year-old skipper sits at 799 wins, needing just one more to reach the 800 mark.
00:46Over the last decade, Snit has been one of the winningest managers in baseball,
00:50with only Dave Roberts of the Dodgers racking up more victories during that span.
00:54One more win would put Snit in elite company.
00:57Only the 43rd manager in MLB history to notch 800 wins with a single franchise.
01:04In Braves history, that would rank him behind only Frank Salee, 1,004,
01:08and the legendary Bobby Cox, 2,149.
01:13With speculation swirling that this could be Snitker's final year,
01:17it's a bittersweet milestone,
01:18one built on loyalty and success,
01:21even if it ends in one of the ugliest seasons Atlanta has endured.
01:24Luke Williams, designated for assignment last week to make room for Jureks and Profar,
01:29cleared waivers and has been outrighted to AAA Gwinnett.
01:33Williams' time in Atlanta was underwhelming.
01:35He hit just 188-182-238 games,
01:40but he did provide some hustle on the bases and even pitched in a few blowout losses.
01:44So yes, the 2025 Braves are limping to the finish line.
01:49However, between Snitker's historic milestone chase and the ongoing roster moves,
01:55there are still storylines worth following as this lost season winds down.
