A particular Braves beat journalist simply recommended a month ago that the team consider the prospect of dealing their superstars.
Moving Arcia would be OK to me in the right deal, but discussions shouldn’t even bring up Albies’ name.
He is undoubtedly on the best contract and is perhaps baseball’s finest second baseman. Albies’s influence in the locker room is the main reason he shouldn’t be traded, but it would take a king’s ransom to even entertain the idea.
Ronald Acuna Jr., who the Braves need to keep happy, is best friends with Albies. Instead of dealing the most cherished member of the clubhouse, the club should concentrate on making small adjustments to get over this hump.
It is unclear what the Braves will do with Marco Gonzales and Evan White, but Ken Rosenthal reports that Gonzales is not anticipated to be a member of the organization for very long.
