“Well, I guess I’m going three more years now since they picked up my option (for 2024). And it’s kind of like the retirement thing scares me this time of year. First, it was, are you ever going to recover from the World Series? But now I can feel my clock is starting to tick, and it pulls you toward the warm weather,” said the Atlanta Braves. 

Notably, after winning the World Series in the last season, Braves extended Snitker’s contract for another few years until the 2024 season.
