It's been a rough season so far in 2025 for the Atlanta Braves, who are currently well outside of the playoff picture as the All-Star break approaches. The Braves stumbled out of the gates to an 0-7 record and are somehow in an even worse position than that now ahead of Thursday's game against the Athletics.
With this being the case, many have speculated that the Braves could be sellers as opposed to buyers at the upcoming MLB trade deadline, and everyone–including superstar Ronald Acuna Jr.–has seen their name in the rumor mill.
Recently, it was reported that one key Braves player could be a potential trade target for the Cincinnati Reds if their quest to land Steven Kwan from the Cleveland Guardians came up empty.
