Braves Consider Reunion with John Gibbons Following Mets Departure

The Atlanta Braves are exploring new managerial options as a familiar name becomes available. John Gibbons, who served as the New York Mets’ bench coach for the past two seasons, has parted ways with the organization, igniting speculation about a potential reunion with Braves General Manager Alex Anthopoulos.

Gibbons’ Departure from the Mets

News broke that Gibbons had informed the Mets of his decision to leave the team, a choice he made after two seasons in New York. Despite his exit, Gibbons is not stepping away from baseball entirely; he has no plans to retire. Instead, he expressed a desire for a change, suggesting it might be time for fresh perspectives in the role. Gibbons has a history of managing playoff teams, demonstrating his capability to lead competitive squads.

A Connection to Anthopoulos

The potential for Gibbons to join the Braves is particularly intriguing given his past relationship with Anthopoulos. The two worked together during Gibbons’ tenure as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays when Anthopoulos served as the general manager. Their history could pave the way for a seamless transition should the Braves decide to pursue Gibbons as a managerial candidate.

With Gibbons now on the market, the Braves may find themselves weighing the benefits of his experience and familiarity against other candidates as they look to bolster their coaching staff for the upcoming season.
