Braves consider trade for Gunnar Henderson to fill shortstop vacancy

The Atlanta Braves might pursue a trade for Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson after struggling at the position recently. Following the departure of Dansby Swanson and an underwhelming performance from Ha-Seong Kim, the Braves are looking to address a critical need. Kim, who returned on a one-year, $20 million deal, faced challenges after missing time due to injury and has not met expectations. Henderson, 25, is currently under an $8.5 million arbitration deal and could bring stability to the shortstop position, though concerns remain about his offensive consistency. Atlanta is likely to prioritize this move in the offseason.
