What happened: An offseason trade involving Ronald Acuña Jr. is viewed as highly unlikely, Jon Morosi stated on MLB Network. Acuña is entering the final guaranteed year of his contract with the Atlanta Braves.

Why it matters: The Braves hold a club option for 2028 beyond the upcoming campaign. That contractual control gives Atlanta roster stability heading into 2027 without pressing need to explore offers.

What to watch: Atlanta shifts focus toward roster additions heading into winter meetings.
