The Atlanta Braves are typically a team you don't want to trade with. Yet every year, multiple teams do it all the same.
Last season, the Braves fleeced the Boston Red Sox for veteran lefty Chris Sale, who went on to win his first career Cy Young Award. This season, their more obvious need is shortstop, and they could look to make a deal to upgrade that position instead.
Orlando Arcia has been the Braves' full-time starter for the past two seasons, and he even made a surprise All-Star appearance in 2023. Things have gone downhill since, however, as Arcia was one of the worst qualified hitters in Major League Baseball in 2024.
