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.
