Braves eye Zach Neto as trade target for offseason upgrades

The Atlanta Braves are considering a trade for shortstop Zach Neto from the AL West. After a difficult season at shortstop, highlighted by poor performances from Ha-Seong Kim and Jorge Mateo, the team looks for offensive improvements. Jim Jarvis, the leading candidate for the starter role, posted a.564 OPS before being sent to Triple-A. Neto, who achieved a third consecutive 20-20 season with 27 home runs and 24 stolen bases, could be a key addition while Mauricio Dubon remains a utility option. The Braves have historically traded with the Angels, suggesting a potential path for acquiring Neto.
