Rangers Rumors: Atlanta Braves could revisit Corey Seager trade interest

According to MLB Network's Joel Sherman, the Atlanta Braves could revisit trade interest in Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager this offseason after inquiring about him previously. Writer Jackson Kruse argues the Rangers might consider moving Seager due to payroll reductions following their 2023 World Series win. The Braves experienced mixed results at shortstop during the season and could look to acquire Seager to fill the position long term.

Seager is under a 10-year, $325 million contract running through 2031 and holds a full no-trade clause via 10-5 rights. Consequently, any potential permanent trade requires his formal consent. He appeared in 102 games during an injury-shortened campaign and recently had elbow surgery, which Kruse notes could influence the Rangers' willingness to consider trade proposals from interested clubs.
