The 6 incredibly smart trades the Braves made that got them to the World Series

The Atlanta Braves are three wins away from a World Series win in 2021.

And it’s thanks in part to some incredibly smart trades VP and general manager Alex Anthopoulos has made this year, with the franchise missing superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. due to a torn ACL in July.

Those not only saved the Braves’ season, but also led them on a postseason tear that’s gotten them here. An outfield that was previously a little bit of a mess now has some serious pop to it. We’ll also list a couple of significant trades from the past few years that have helped.

So let’s take a look at the big moves and how they’ve panned out up to this point.
