Could the Atlanta Braves overhaul their roster by trading with the team that knocked them out of the 2024 postseason?
In early October, the injury-riddled Braves were quickly dispatched by the San Diego Padres in the National League Wild Card Series. Fast-forward to April, and the Padres are one of just three 10-win teams in the majors, while the Braves have limped to a 3-10 start.
No one knows better than the Braves how important it is to stay the course, however. They'll get healthier soon, adding Spencer Strider back to the starting rotation and eventually Ronald Acuña Jr.
