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.
Due to how long the process has dragged on — and how little has leaked out — many now suspect the Braves’ top managerial target is Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann.

One clear candidate has emerged to become the Atlanta Braves’ new manager. The Braves appear to be targeting Los Angeles Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann as their new manager, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com.
