To say the 2025 season has been a shocker for the Atlanta Braves would be the bare minimum.
At 39-50 entering play on Monday, the Braves are 9 1/2 games out of a potential playoff spot. They're running out of time to make any sort of push up the standings, and they'd have to do so without their two best starting pitchers, Chris Sale and Spencer Schwellenbach.
All signs are pointing toward the Braves selling at the trade deadline at the end of the months. That's obviously a tough pill for fans to swallow, but the least Atlanta could do in that scenario is recoup some value for the expiring veterans they have under contract.
