Ronald Acuña Jr. Trade Idea Sends Former NL MVP to Surprising Contender originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In theory, the Atlanta Braves have zero reason to trade superstar outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr., especially when he's been among the league's top players since returning from a knee injury in late May.

The Atlanta Braves were urged to consider dealing their franchise slugger after a second significant knee injury.

Of course, there are not many teams that possess the young talent that it would take to acquire Acuña Jr., but ESPN’s David Schoenfield believes that the Rays could be a potential match, proposing a deal involving starting pitcher Shane Baz and a quarter of intriguing prospects, headlined by shortstop Carson Williams.
