Legendary Atlanta Braves scout and front office executive Paul Snyder has sadly passed away per MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis. Snyder was 88 years old and spent his entire 50-year professional baseball career in the Braves’ organization.
Very sad to learn that legendary scout Paul Snyder died last night. One of the very best scouts & one of the architects of the @Braves' sustained success. Learned a lot from talking to him as I was starting in this business. RIP, Paul.
