Who did the Atlanta Braves name their 3B coach?

By Shawn Stewart

The Atlanta Braves has announced on Monday that former Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez will immediately replace Matt Tuiasosopo as the team’s third-base coach.

The move comes in the midst of a 3-8 stretch that has left Atlanta with a better record than just three National League teams — the Marlins, Pirates and Rockies.

Gonzalez followed Bobby Cox as the Braves’ manager before the 2011 season and remained in that role until he was replaced by current Atlanta skipper Brian Snitker six weeks into the 2016 season. Gonzalez has since served as a coach for both the Marlins and Orioles.
