DENVER -- Bo Porter, the Braves' special assistant to the general manager who managed the Astros for nearly two seasons, can be added to the list of hopefuls for the open Rockies managerial job.
Porter took over the Astros during a rebuilding program and went 110-190 in 2013-14. The following season, Porter joined the Braves as third-base coach. When the Braves removed the interim tag from Brian Snitker and named him manager this week, Porter was promoted to special assistant to Braves GM John Coppolella to help with transferring data sciences and analytics to the field.
