The Atlanta Braves have no interest in trading outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. this offseason and won't engage with teams if they inquire about his availability, reports MLB Network's Jon Morosi.
Acuña has been floated as a potential trade candidate as he heads into the final guaranteed year of his contract - the Braves have a $17-million team option on him for 2028 - before becoming a free agent.
The 28-year-old, who's set to earn $17 million in 2027, appeared in 107 games for the Braves last season. He slashed .255/.345/.451 with 20 home runs and 55 RBIs while posting just 1.8 fWAR.
Over the last handful of years, Acuña underwent surgeries to repair ACL tears in both of his knees, and he's dealt with recurring lower-body issues. The ailments have limited him to 251 games since the beginning of 2024.
Acuña received NL MVP honors in 2023 after putting together a historic campaign that included 41 homers, 73 steals, and a league-leading 217 hits.
