Atlanta Braves greats Chipper Jones and Marquis Grissom were named managers for the 2025 All-Star Futures Game on Monday.
The Hall of Famer Jones will manage the National League minor leaguers and will be opposed by two-time All-Star Grissom on the American League side. The seven-inning game will be played on July 12 in Atlanta.
Joining Jones as coaches will be former Braves Mark DeRosa (bench coach), Andruw Jones (hitting coach) and Tim Hudson (pitching coach), among others.
