The Atlanta Braves came into the season with World Series expectations, but things have not gone according to plan so far. Injuries and overall inconsistency have doomed the Braves so far in 2025, and as a result they find themselves well outside the playoff picture at 39-49 as the All-Star break approaches.
The trade deadline is also right around the corner, and the Braves improbably find themselves in the position to be potential sellers. Atlanta is 12.5 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the top spot in the NL East and is eight games off of the last NL Wild Card spot, so other teams will be understandably calling about some of their top players.
