3 former Atlanta Braves who could be available at trade deadline

Former Atlanta Braves who could be available at trade deadline: Jorge Soler

Like Joc Pederson, Jorge Soler was a midseason addition that propelled the Braves to a World Series victory in 2021. And like Pederson, he found his way elsewhere via free agency, landing with the Miami Marlins.

Soler has found his groove with the Marlins this year, slashing .259/.333/.566 with 16 home runs already. He’s come on particularly strong in May, prompting dreams of a trade to a World Series contender. That’s because he has a player option after this season and is almost certain to opt out in search of a bigger deal.

Miami is in third place in the NL East and just like the Giants they’ll have to decide whether to cash in on their more intriguing assets at the deadline. More often than not, they’ve been sellers.

Executing a trade between the Marlins and Braves within the division is the tricky part.

It may not be the most realistic scenario, but if presented with the opportunity, Atlanta would have to look at getting Soler back as very tempting. Keeping him out of the Mets hands would be a bonus.
