The Braves have fired manager Fredi Gonzalez, according to a report from David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The Braves enter play Tuesday with a 9-28 record on the season. That’s an awful mark, to be sure, but the team is in the midst of a deep rebuild and for 2016 handed Gonzalez a roster that was major-league in name only. As a consequence, Gonzalez becomes the first manager fired in 2016.

Gonzalez, 52, had been at the helm in Atlanta since the start of the 2011 season. Over that span, he compiled a 434-413 (.512) record with the Braves. On Gonzalez’s watch, the Braves won an NL East title in 2013 and a wild-card berth in 2013. However, Gonzalez’s teams went just 1-4 in postseason play.

Prior to his Braves stint, Gonzalez spent three-and-a-half seasons as manager of the Marlins. In all, he’s compiled a 710-692 record across parts of 10 seasons as a big-league manager.

Not long ago, a report surfaced that former Padres manager Bud Black was the favorite to lead the Braves in 2017, as they move into a new suburban ballpark.
