Braves Willing to Listen to Offers for Ozzie Albies
The Atlanta Braves are willing to listen to offers for second baseman Ozzie Albies, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. The Braves would be selling low on the three-time All-Star in what has been the worst season of his career. The switch-hitting Albies has batted a miserable .221/.296/.326 with nine homers, 40 RBI, 43 runs scored, and nine steals in 436 plate appearances. Albies has been especially poor versus lefties, who have held him to a toothless .218/.243/.264 line. Despite his unexpected woes this year, it seems likely Albies' employer (whether it's Atlanta or another team) will exercise his $7 million option for 2026 in the offseason. Otherwise, they'd have to pay the 28-year-old a $4 million buyout and would only save $3 million.
