The Atlanta Braves have had a disappointing season, and the trade deadline could be where they officially punt on the year. While reports suggest Ozzie Albies will not be traded this week, the Braves could change their mind.
According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Braves could entertain trading Albies in the winter. He has spent his entire career with the Braves and has $7 million team options for the next two years.
"Even with Atlanta All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies’ struggles this year, Atlanta plans to pick up his $7 million option this winter and will at least listen to trade offers for him," wrote Nightengale.
