The Atlanta Braves held their press conference introducing new skipper Walt Weiss earlier today, providing details around the new manager’s hiring. Here’s round-up of some of the notable points made during the press conference as well as the subsequent media rounds that took place after its conclusion.
Weiss will become the franchise’s 49th manager but only the fourth since 1991, when Cox began the first full season of his second tour of duty as the Braves’ skipper. Weiss could be considered the safe choice as manager, having served as the team’s bench coach for retired manager Snitker since 2018.
