The Braves came into the offseason desperately needing to make some big moves.<\/p>\n<p>They recently agreed to a deal with infielder Ha-Seong Kim, but they could continue making moves to add talent in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>FanSided&#8217;s Christopher Kline predicted the Braves would swing a blockbuster trade for Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager this offseason.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"11222143\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2226487439.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1536px, (min-width: 768px) 1024px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2226487439.jpg?w=640&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 640w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2226487439.jpg?w=750&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 750w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2226487439.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1000w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2226487439.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2226487439.jpg?w=1360&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1360w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2226487439.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1600w\" alt=\"Braves predicted to land $325 million superstar in blockbuster trade\" width=\"4923\" height=\"2974\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The\u00a0Texas Rangers\u00a0are listening on Corey Seager, who is due $186 million over the next six years,&#8221; Kline wrote. &#8220;That&#8217;s a lot of money for an early-30s shortstop, but Seager \u2014 an integral piece of Texas&#8217; 2023 title run \u2014 can still hit 30 home runs and 40 doubles in a healthy season. He generates tons of hard contact and defends a premium position quite well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are the Atlanta Braves really prepared to foot the bill on Seager&#8217;s contract? It wouldn&#8217;t be the most classically Alex Anthopoulos move, but the Braves need to turn their fortunes around and shortstop in the most glaring hole on the roster.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seager is one of the best middle infielders in baseball, and the Braves could make a big trade for him this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Seager&#8217;s contract is likely going to lessen his trade value, but it would still cost a few top names to land the star. The Braves certainly have the prospect capital to get a deal done. It would take their biggest weakness, shortstop, and turn it into one of their biggest strengths.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>More MLB: Red Sox Predicted To Sign $90 Million Star After Pete Alonso Whiff<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Braves could hunt a blockbuster trade for Texas Rangers infielder Corey Seager before opening day next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":131748,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8 INSIDE BLOCKBUSTER STIR: The Braves are suddenly being projected to land a jaw dropping $325 million superstar in a trade scenario that\u2019s shaking up front office chatter across the league.
