MLB Trade Rumors: The Atlanta Braves are one of the first teams to be aggressive at the 2023 trade deadline. A trade with the Colorado Rockies brought them Pierce Johnson and a separate deal with the Texas Rangers Taylor Hearn. Now reports are indicating that they will be targeting a familiar face who played a big role in their 2021 World Series run.
The Atlanta Braves are reportedly interested in reuniting with Adam Duvall of the Boston Red Sox (MLB Trade Rumors).
Adam Duvall has a rich history of being traded at the deadline. On two separate occasions he has been dealt to the Atlanta Braves. This year he is with the Boston Red Sox and reports are indicating that the Braves would love to reunite with him.
This season Duvall missed a substantial amount of time with a wrist fracture. However during the 2021 post season he slugged .407 with five home runs, and 18 runs batted in. Atlanta already has a potent offense but adding additional depth could prove very beneficial down the stretch.
The cost to acquire Duvall should be relatively low. He signed a one year $7 MM deal with the Red Sox and will be owed about $2.3 MM the remainder of the season. If Atlanta can pry him away this would be a very low risk high reward depth trade.
