No one with actual brain cells thinks that the Atlanta Braves are going to enter 2026 with Nick Allen as their shortstop. The Braves have been clear that addressing shortstop this offseason is a priority and most of that speculation has been around just how far Atlanta is willing to go to keep Ha-Seong Kim in the fold. However, Kim is not the only option the Braves are considering right now as it turns out.
There have been a number of names that have been connected to the Braves' quest for a new shortstop with Bo Bichette being probably the most popular and obvious one.
