In the Atlanta Braves search for an outfielder, there was a news break that indicated who they wouldn’t be getting as opposed to who might be heading their way.
Both The Athletic's David O'Brien and MLB.com's Mark Bowman reported on Dec. 10 that Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward, who had been rumored as a Braves trade target since the 2024 MLB trade deadline, was close to being moved. However. according to O'Brien and Bowman, the Braves were not the team acquiring him.
However, it’s looking like the Braves could still have a shot after all.
