Braves' prime trade target is 27-HR shortstop from AL West
The Braves could target a new shortstop this offseason.
The Atlanta Braves are currently the prime trade target for a 27-home run shortstop from the American League West. Their shortstop situation has been a nightmare, with players like Ha-Seong Kim, Jorge Mateo, and Jim Jarvis failing to meet expectations. Mauricio Dubon, who had a Gold Glove-season playing multiple positions, would likely be their first priority, but they are also on the lookout for an offensive upgrade.
The Braves have a history of trading with the Angels, and Zach Neto could be a potential addition to their lineup. Neto, who hit 27 homers and stole 24 bases in 2027, would provide the best of both worlds for the Braves, serving as their starting shortstop through the 2029 season.
