Braves Not Considering Trading Ronald Acuna Jr.
The Atlanta Braves are not considering trading right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. or any other young player they have signed to an extension. The Braves don't award no-trade clauses to players as part of their policy, but a player that signs an extension does it with implicit understanding that he won't be traded. Atlanta is also unlikely to sign a free-agent shortstop other than Dansby Swanson. President of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos mentioned Orlando Arcia and Vaughn Grissom as internal options if the team can't re-sign Swanson. Acuna, still only 24, made his third All-Star team in 2022 despite dealing with nagging injuries throughout the season. He finished with a .266/.351/.413 slash line, 15 home runs, 50 RBI, 71 runs scored and 29 stolen bases in 119 games.
