Despite the returns of Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spencer Strider from lengthy IL stints the 2025 season hasn’t gone as the Atlanta Braves had hoped. In 2024 the team battled through numerous injuries, somehow making the playoffs for the seventh straight season. This year, the team is six games under .500 and 11 games out of first place in the NL East. But despite their struggles, the Braves won’t be selling at the trade deadline.
While the team had already made its stance on moving players this season clear, GM Alex Anthopoulos reiterated that Atlanta would not become sellers during a radio interview on 680 The Fan.
