Braves could soon cut ties with 30-year-old All-Star in trade with Angels

The Atlanta Braves could have all sorts of intriguing phone calls to field at this year's Major League Baseball trade deadline.

After an 0-7 start to the year, the Braves have clawed their way back to .500 at 22-22. Any initial talks about them selling off stars like Marcell Ozuna have rightfully quieted, but there's certainly still a chance they could trade a player off their big-league roster.

It's been a long time since Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia has given the team any contributions at the plate. The 30-year-old was a surprise All-Star selection in 2023, but he slumped in the second half that year and his numbers have gone downhill ever since.
