The Atlanta Braves have a shortstop problem. This is not news. After Orlando Arcia was unceremonious let go, the job has been solely in Nick Allen's hands and while he has been very strong defensively, his offense has been lacking and it is clear that he is not the long-term solution at short. As a result, the Braves went very shortstop heavy in the 2025 MLB Draft and in doing so, their offseason plans may now be coming into focus.
First round pick Tate Southisene is coming from high school, so he isn't going to factor into the Braves' plans for at least a couple years and likely longer than that.
