The Atlanta Braves received devastating news Sunday night when they learned reigning National League Most Valuable Player Ronald Acuna Jr. would miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
Currently six games behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East, the Braves have a major void in their lineup and they will likely need to act fast to help replace his production.
Here are three outfielders the Braves should target on the trade market to help ease the loss of Acuna Jr.
Taylor Ward
2024 stats: .274/.330/.483, 11 home runs and 32 RBI in 52 games played
Off to one of the best starts in his career, Ward would be an ideal candidate to target for the Braves.
With a .813 OPS and 11 home runs, Ward is ranked among the top hitters in the American League while being a focal point of the Angels offense since their loss of outfielder Mike Trout to injury.
