Part of the Los Angeles Dodgers enjoying a sustained run of success that now includes three World Series titles in six seasons has come members of their organization being considered by other teams.
Last offseason, that amounted to the Miami Marlins hiring Clayton McCullough as their new manager. With several managerial openings arising this year, Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann has been the subject of reported interest.
According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, the Atlanta Braves might be angling to hire Lehmann as their new manager:
The Braves will likely announce their new manager within the next few days. Still feels like Danny Lehmann is the favorite. If he gets the job, winning a second straight World Series and getting your first chance to manage would qualify for a incredible few days

Lehmann was previously reported as being in the running for the open position with the Washington Nationals, but they ultimately elected to hire Blake Butera. It’s not clear if Lehmann garnered an interview with the Nationals.
Lemann’s name also surfaced last offseason when the Chicago White Sox were in search of a new manager before hiring Will Venable.
The Braves are in need of a new manager for the first time in 10 seasons. Brian Snitker is transitioning from his managerial position into an advisory role and will be inducted into the Braves’ Hall of Fame in 2026.
Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos has a prior connection to Lehmann through their time together in the Dodgers organization.
Danny Lehmann’s career
Lehmann has held several roles with the Dodgers, including advanced video scout and game planning and communications coach. He was promoted to Dodgers bench coach at the start of the 2023 season.
Lehmann’s promotion comes after spending four overall seasons (2018, 2020-2023) as the Dodgers’ game planning and communications coach. In 2019 he was a special assistant to the club.
