A well-known MLB insider recently revealed two possible trade targets that could be a suitable match for the Atlanta Braves, who are currently in a tough spot and could use some impact players to strengthen their roster for the upcoming stretch run. The Braves are determined to not give up on their title hopes for 2024, and the MLB trade deadline is just around the corner.
As today’s Major League Baseball games get underway, the Braves are beginning to show indications of finally escaping their slump, which resulted in five consecutive losses—three of which came at the hands of the dismal Washington Nationals. For a club that saw the seasons of Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuna Jr. cut short by injuries, this has been an incredibly trying year.
Without those two superstars, it seemed like a poor year to try to win the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, who have been among the best in baseball thus far. And then there’s the west coast, with the stacked and pricey Los Angeles Dodgers. It nearly makes you wonder if they could sell before the trade deadline, skip this year, and start again in 2025.
Bob Nightengale, an MLB insider who spoke with USA Today, said that certain players are off the table as trade targets for the Braves, and he also mentioned two other players who may be important down the stretch.
