Atlanta Braves Face Critical Decision at Shortstop

The Atlanta Braves have a glaring issue at shortstop. Orlando Arcia was serviceable in 2023, slashing .264/.321/.420, but that has been his lone standout year in recent memory. Last season, his performance dipped significantly, and his struggles have only worsened in spring training. With just two singles in 28 at-bats this spring, it’s time for Atlanta to seriously consider an upgrade.

Arcia’s Decline Raises Red Flags

Arcia’s struggles aren’t just a recent slump—they reflect a pattern. The Braves gave him the benefit of the doubt last year, hoping his All-Star campaign in 2023 was a sign of things to come. Instead, he regressed. His offensive production cratered, and his defense wasn’t strong enough to compensate for his lack of hitting. Now, after a brutal spring, the Braves have to ask themselves: can they afford to keep running him out there?

One hitless game might not be alarming, but when a player has just two singles in nearly 30 plate appearances, it signals a deeper issue. The Braves can’t risk a black hole in their lineup, especially with their sights set on another deep playoff run.

Could Trevor Story Be the Answer?

Atlanta might not have to look far for a solution. The Boston Red Sox have a surplus of infield talent, and Trevor Story could be available if the right offer comes along. Boston currently plans to start Story at shortstop, but top prospect Marcelo Mayer is making a strong case for the job. With an OPS nearing 1.000 this spring, Mayer is showing he’s ready for the big leagues. If the Red Sox believe in him, they might be willing to move Story.

Story’s tenure in Boston has been marred by injuries, but when healthy, he remains an impact player. He’s an elite defender with power potential, and his bat would provide a huge upgrade over Arcia. However, acquiring him wouldn’t come cheap.

What Would It Take to Land Story?

If the Braves want Story, they’ll have to pay up. Boston isn’t just going to give him away, even with Mayer waiting in the wings. The likely cost? A package centered around a top pitching prospect like Hurston Waldrep and a promising young infielder like Nacho Alvarez Jr.

The Braves’ farm system isn’t as deep as it once was, but they do have pieces to make a deal happen. The question is whether they’re willing to part with them. Waldrep is one of Atlanta’s most exciting young arms, and Alvarez Jr. has the potential to be a starting-caliber infielder. Trading both would be a hefty price to pay, but if it lands them a reliable shortstop, it might be worth it.

The Braves Can’t Afford to Stand Still

The Los Angeles Dodgers have built a juggernaut, and the Braves can’t afford to fall behind. They already boast one of the most potent lineups in baseball, but a glaring hole at shortstop could hold them back. A move for Story—or another impact shortstop—would signal to the rest of the league that Atlanta is all-in on winning now.

Standing pat and hoping Arcia turns things around isn’t a viable option. The Braves have a championship window, and it won’t stay open forever. If they want to maximize their chances, upgrading at shortstop is a necessity.
