The Atlanta Braves are not a good baseball team.<\/p>\n

Parts of Braves Country have been holding out hope this was not the case. Some baseball pundits have given the team the benefit of the doubt and expressed patience.<\/p>\n

But having lost nine of their last 11 contests, the Braves have fallen to a season-high 11 games below the .500 mark. They ended the holiday weekend with a 2-7 homestand, including a sweep versus the last-place AL East Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n

During the home stand, the Braves scored zero or one run six times. In two of those games, Atlanta didn’t score until the ninth inning.<\/p>\n

That happened again Sunday. But MLB Network’s Jon Morosi didn’t bother to wait to see if the Braves could mount a comeback during the 2-1 loss to fire a tweet about what the team should do at the MLB trade deadline.<\/p>\n

“Difficult to justify anything other than an outright ‘sell’ approach to the trade deadline,” wrote Morosi.<\/p>\n

The Braves, who trail the Marlins in the NL East, have been held scoreless through 7 innings today.<\/p>\n

Difficult to justify anything other than an outright \u201csell\u201d approach to the Trade Deadline. @MLBNetwork<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2014 Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 6, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

At the time of the tweet, the Braves trailed 2-0. Catcher Sean Murphy hit a homer, and the team had the trying run on base in the ninth. If the Braves got another run, then the team would have required a very different tone than Morosi’s tweet.<\/p>\n

Would’ve, should’ve, couldn’t — the words of a bad baseball team.<\/p>\n

After Sunday’s loss, the Braves fell to 8.5 games out of the final NL wild card spot. They are 13 games back in the division with three and a half weeks until the MLB trade deadline.<\/p>\n

To move into playoff position, the Braves would have to pass six teams in the wild card standings.<\/p>\n

It’s a pipe dream to believe that has a possibility of happening. The Braves have a couple more weeks to prove otherwise, but nothing suggests anything is changing with the team soon.<\/p>\n

The Braves don’t have the consistent offense or the pitching depth with four starters on the injured list to mount a 2021-like comeback. Admitting that could be the best way for the Braves to move forward and reload for 2026.<\/p>\n

Of course, who the organization could “sell” to try and reload for next season is another issue. Atlanta’s most obvious trade assets are either injured or not performing.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

In his past 30 games, Ozuna has hit just .159 (18-for-113) with one homer, 32 strikeouts and a .475 OPS. Don’t know if the #Braves could trade him for anything even if they wanted to.<\/p>\n
