Potentially the best landing spot for Correa would be the Atlanta Braves. The Braves are in desperate need of a big move to boost their roster.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve struggled out of the gate this season, and it doesn&#8217;t look like things are going to get better unless they actively try to make it better.<\/p>\n<p>Shortstop Orlando Arcia has been a problem for the Braves again this season. Arcia slashed .218\/.271\/.354 with a 72 OPS+ last season, and he&#8217;s slashing even worse this year.<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta has needed to move on from him for quite a while now, but it hasn&#8217;t been able to commit to the move.<\/p>\n<p>With top prospect Nacho Alvarez Jr. seemingly not ready to take over as the everyday shortstop, the Braves need to swing a blockbuster trade for Correa. Correa has struggled this year, but he posted an OPS of .905 a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>He could benefit tremendously from a change of scenery.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a chance the Braves could get the Twins to pay down some of Correa&#8217;s contract in a potential deal, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bleacher Report&#8217;s Tim Kelly recently suggested Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is one of the players most likely to be traded ahead of this season&#8217;s trade deadline&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":50345,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50344","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 -
