Braves Reportedly Have No Interest in Acuña Trade

The Braves are expected to keep Ronald Acuña Jr. rather than trade him this offseason, with MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reporting that the team will not entertain inquiries and describing a deal as highly unlikely. Atlanta exercised Acuña’s $17 million option for 2027, reinforcing its plans to retain the former NL MVP, while a $17 million option for 2028 remains available. Trade speculation has been fueled by his injury history and a 2026 season in which he played 107 games and hit .255 with 20 home runs, followed by a difficult postseason. Some fans and commentators argue that his health and recent performance could make a trade worth considering, but others contend that a contender coming off a 94-win season is better served by keeping its star and hoping he returns to MVP-level form.
