ATLANTA -- Braves manager Brian Snitker's coaching staff will assume a new look next year as Walt Weiss and Eric Young Sr. will replace Terry Pendleton and Eddie Perez, respectively. The pair had stood as Atlanta's two longest-tenured coaches.
The Braves announced Weiss will take over for Pendleton as bench coach, while Young will assume the first-base duties previously held by Perez. Sal Fasano will also join Atlanta's staff to serve as a catching coach.
Pendleton had filled various roles on the Braves' coaching staff since 2002, and Perez's tenure dated to '07. Both have been offered positions within the organization, but neither has yet to accept.
