The Atlanta Braves are facing a pivotal moment as they head into the 2025 season, particularly with the shortstop position still in question. With Nacho Alvarez starting the year in Gwinnett, many fans are left wondering: how much longer can the Braves afford to wait for a solution at shortstop?
Orlando Arcia's performance last season was a rollercoaster, to say the least. He was statistically the worst hitting shortstop in the first half, yet managed to show some promise post-All-Star break. But can we really rely on him to maintain that level of play? With free agents like Paul DeJong and Jose Iglesias available, should the Braves make a move, or is it time to give Alvarez a shot?
Let’s dive into the debate:
How many plate appearances do you think Nacho Alvarez will get this season? Will he be a key player, or will he remain a utility option? If you were in charge, would you stick with Arcia or pursue a free agent?
And here’s a bold prediction: if Alvarez gets significant playing time, could he surprise us all and become a breakout star?
Share your thoughts, experiences, and any insights you have on the Braves' shortstop situation. What do you think the future holds for Nacho Alvarez and the Braves in 2025?
