The job of modern baseball manager has gone from old-school instinct to being a servant to meddling, data-driven front offices — or baseball operations departments, as they would rather be known.
In fact, all three managers who have worked under the Atkins-Mark Shapiro regime have all had varying challenges to their authority and autonomy. In the aftermath, Atkins added to the absurdity by denying it was his call and that he had “100% confidence it was not front-office pressure” that spurred Schneider into the erratic action.Few are buying it, however, as the team’s intent to tightly rein its managers continued.

In other words, the old-school managerial style had no place. Gibbons further explained that the coercion from the front office demanded a certain passive personality to fit.

But the disconnect with Atkins was brewing and apparent to all around the team by the summer of 2022.
