Mansolino had been the third base coach for more than four seasons before taking over as their interim manager in May of 2025. The Braves also announced that J.P. Martinez will be the team’s next bullpen coach. Martinez spent the 2025 campaign as the Giants’ pitching coach after serving as an assistant pitching coach from 2021-2024. New Braves’ manager Walt Weiss has done a nice job assembling a well-rounded and experienced staff in relatively short order after being officially hired on Monday.

Both are coming over from the Mets, Hefner after being replaced and Richardson after declining to sign a new contract with the team. Hefner was very well regarded entering last season, but the Mets felt they needed to make big changes after coming up short in 2025. Richardson got much of the credit for Juan Soto’s stolen base outburst, and he might encourage the Braves to do more running after they finished 26th in MLB with 82 steals last season.

Weiss takes over as Atlanta’s skipper after Brian Snitker stepped down at the end of last season following a decade at the helm. This marks the 61-year-old’s first managerial opportunity since his four-year stint with the Rockies from 2013-16, where he compiled a 283-365 (.437) record without a postseason appearance. He’s spent the past eight seasons as the Braves’ bench coach and serves as a logical in-house successor — a familiar voice for the club’s veteran core. In an offseason full of youthful hires and unconventional, out-of-the-box gambles, Weiss stands out as a rare throwback — a reminder that not every adaptation has to be a revolution.
