Three players from every NL West team the Atlanta Braves could acquire

San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres are here to stay for a while. Everyone knows and agrees on that. They have young great talent and yet more to come. With that being said, they might be in a position to ship out a couple of veterans to make room for them. Who could they be? Let’s dive in and see.

1. Austin Nola– I am just like you: I’d rather have his brother but obviously that is not going to happen. This Nola, the catcher, has carved out his own place among the game though as he has turned out to be a useful catcher of his own. The Atlanta Braves as we have mentioned could use to upgrade the backup spot at catcher.
2. Wil Myers– It seems for years, we have all heard rumors that the Padres would love to move on from Myers and hand the keys to younger, cheaper players. Well, it paid off for them in 2020 to have Myers as he delivered a great year. Could they now in turn, turn around and try to sell Myers high this offseason?
3. Tommy Pham– When on top of his game, Tommy Pham is a very good player. Pham was actually one of the few Padres who had a down year in 2020, and it would not be too out of the realm if the Padres elect to non-tender Pham this Winter. Could a team like the Atlanta Braves step in and simply trade for him and get him for a lower cost than one might expect?

So with that, we have listed players from each NL West team the Atlanta Braves might have interest in. This also concludes the entire NL fleet of teams. Let us know in the comment section below which of these players you would have interest in and who you would avoid.
