A Ronald Acuña Jr. trade rumor is gaining steam — and the Boston Red Sox are at the center of the noise.
The Atlanta Braves are stumbling into July at 39-46, and with their playoff hopes fading fast, the possibility of a seismic move is creeping into the conversation.
“Some have now publicly suggested that the Braves should consider, if they are not already, trading their 27-year-old all-world superstar,” Ian Miller of Outkick wrote.
The Red Sox are emerging as a potential landing spot.
Boston team president and CEO Sam Kennedy confirmed Thursday that team ownership is “willing to go for it” at this year’s trade deadline, adding more fuel to speculation that the club could pursue a bold move for a superstar.
