Former Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez was working for MLB as an umpire supervisor when the Braves were playing in his current hometown of Philadelphia last week. He spent time catching up with his good friend Brian Snitker in the visitor’s clubhouse before the series opener.

"We need to look for every area that we can get better," Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said.

Gonzalez managed the Braves for parts of six seasons and had some good moments, going 434-413 before getting fired during the middle of the 2016 campaign, and getting replaced by Brian Snitker, who is still in that same position today.
