"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Atlanta Braves have exercised their 2014 option on the contract of manager Fredi Gonzalez.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Taking over when Bobby Cox retired after the 2010 season, Gonzalez has managed the Braves to a 183-141 record. A September slump cost them a playoff berth in the 2011 playoffs and they lost to St. Louis in this year's NL wild-card game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atlanta also hired Dave Holliday and Brad Sloan as special assistants to general manager Frank Wren and major league scouts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don Chiti, who held those titles for the last four years, was promoted to special assistant to the GM and pitching development and special assignment. Jeff Wren, a special assistant to the GM and major league scout, will cover the NL while Holliday will cover the AL.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
