The majority of the MLB organizations have already filled their vacant manager positions, but it was reported in late October that the Braves were awaiting the conclusion of the Fall Classic before hiring a new head of the clubhouse. That might be because the Los Angeles Dodgers' bench coach, Danny Lehmann, may be the frontrunner for the open spot.
