Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. Trade Rumors Get Major Update From Insider
The Atlanta Braves have to make a decision on Ronald Acuña Jr.
The Atlanta Braves have not made a World Series appearance since 2021, despite Ronald Acuña Jr. being a key player. Acuña was not healthy during that championship run, but he has since won an MVP award. However, he has also faced significant injuries. This season, Acuña's OPS dropped below .800 and he struggled in the postseason.
The 28-year-old outfielder's $17 million club option for 2027 was exercised, with another $17 million option for 2028 also in place. Acuña is set to become a free agent after the 2028 season. There have been trade rumors surrounding Acuña, but according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, the Braves have no interest in moving him and will not entertain inquiries from other teams.
Acuña himself has expressed a desire to stay with the Braves, but he must demonstrate he can still be a superstar, particularly in October.
