Amidst the Atlanta Braves managerial buzz, Hall of Famer Chipper Jones told 680 The Fan that he has no interest in managing his former club. He did, however, make mention of possibly joining the staff as a hitting coach.
It would not be Jones’ first appearance on the staff. Beginning in 2021, he took on a part-time
role as the Braves’ hitting consultant.
So, while Jones has ruled out managing the team, there is still a possibility he serves the team in some capacity.
