Braves show interest in Corey Seager for potential trade

Summary

The Atlanta Braves are reportedly interested in trading for Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager after failing to acquire Jacob deGrom, who blocked a trade with his no-trade clause. Atlanta had checked in on Seager last offseason and may pursue him again this offseason as they seek to strengthen their infield. Seager's injury history raises concerns; he hasn't played in over 120 games since 2024, appearing in 102 games in 2026. Despite these issues, his track record suggests he remains capable of improvement, making him a target for the Braves.
