History would tell us it will come via trade.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Sale, Sean Murphy, and Matt Olson were acquired through trade in each offseason following the club\u2019s World Series run, and the expectation is that another will come down the pike this winter.<\/p>\n<p>Anthopoulos will have to work his magic again, though. The trade market isn\u2019t robust with options, and the ones that are available will be heavily sought-after, meaning prices will be inflated, which especially impacts the Braves.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the recent report that the Braves would ideally like to hang onto Hurston Waldrep, Atlanta doesn\u2019t have the kind of farm system to pull off a Garrett Crochet-esque blockbuster deal\u2026 unless?<\/p>\n<p><em>Unless<\/em> the Braves potentially include some major league talent, which Mark Bowman floated in an article about the club\u2019s trade candidates, specifically bringing up Ozzie Albies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere would also be reason to debate moving Ozzie Albies, the three-time All-Star second baseman whose contract includes a $7 million salary for 2025 and $7 million options for 2026 and \u201927. That\u2019s a good value if he remains healthy enough to bid for another 30-homer season. He\u2019s also a strong clubhouse presence. But his arm strength has weakened his defensive value and to get a strong return you sometimes must part ways with something significant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bowman isn\u2019t the kind of guy to just throw crap against the wall to see what sticks. He certainly has a point. If the trade was for the right player, including Albies isn\u2019t <em>that <\/em>crazy.<\/p>\n<p>It would be a shocking move, nonetheless. Ozzie Albies has been a critical piece of the Braves success since 2018 and is on an extremely team-friendly contract. He\u2019s only owed $7 million in 2025 and has club options at the same price for the following two seasons, which is absolutely a bargain, even if he has struggled to stay on the field.<\/p>\n<p>All options should be on the table for Alex Anthopoulos. The Braves need a shake-up.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rival executives, insiders, and fans are expecting Braves president of operations Alex Anthopoulos to make a significant acquisition this offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":14742,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14733","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 -
