Trade deadline season typically gets baseball fans scouring the internet for any and all trade rumors involving their favorite team. For Atlanta Braves fans this season, the motivation to look for possible deadline acquisitions is all but dead. Instead, most fans are looking at possible returns for veterans like Raisel Iglesias, Marcell Ozuna, and Pierce Johnson.
However, another exciting alternative to scratch your trade rumor itch could be looking into what Atlanta's NL East rivals are attempting to do this July. The Mets and Phillies are established great teams who Atlanta will certainly have to contend with in 2026, so it's important to track what moves these teams do at the deadline to impact their future.
