The Atlanta Braves are no strangers to causing chaos at the Major League Baseball trade deadline.
In 2021, general manager Alex Anthopoulos rebuilt his entire outfield on the fly, turning a .500 ballclub into a World Series champion. With the Braves suffering a rash of early-season injuries in 2024, the baseball world is wondering whether Anthopoulos will repeat the feat.
In 2024, Atlanta appears to have potential needs in the outfield and the starting rotation. Injuries to Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider have left the Braves short-staffed, part of the reason the team currently trails the rival Philadelphia Phillies by seven games in the National League East.
