00:00Braves linked with $6 million rival after career best year
00:04The Atlanta Braves are at a turning point that could reshape both their leadership and their roster for 2026.
00:11It has been a month since Brian Snitker announced he was leaving, and the team has stayed relatively quiet.
00:17Instead, signs point to a deliberate wait for Danny Lehman.
00:20Lehman is now seen as the top candidate, even though he currently works as the Dodgers bench coach during their World Series run.
00:27Reports suggest that the Braves are waiting on purpose, and his hire would signal a shift toward data-driven decisions and advanced analytics for a team more known for its traditions.
00:37Leadership changes are not the only big story in Atlanta this offseason, as Harrison Bader is now a possible addition.
00:45He just had his best offensive season, hitting .277 with a .796 OPS, and he hits well against left-handed pitchers,
00:53making him a potential platoon fit with Michael Harris II struggling against lefties.
00:58If Bader joins the team, it could add pressure on Jureks and Profar, who has had a difficult time in Atlanta.
01:04Fans want players to be accountable, so if Profar struggles at the start of the season, they will likely demand changes,
01:11while Bader would add depth and give the team some security.
01:15Judging by recent rumors, the team is being built to win right from the get-go,
01:19but staying competitive means the right mix of leadership and depth.
01:23In the next few weeks, we will see whether the Braves are ready to fully embrace a modern, flexible approach
01:29across their coaching staff and players.
01:32With Lehman possibly set to become manager, and Bader a real option to strengthen the outfield,
01:38the Braves are not just making small changes.
01:41They are reinventing themselves, and that could be exactly what the team needs.
