Angels' most likely trade candidate is 211-HR slugger who could have hilarious landing spot

Angels could trade Jorge Soler to Braves for hilarious deadline deal

Soler and the Braves have some interesting ties to one another. The main one is that Soler was a former player for the franchise, but there was a lot more he did than simply play for Atlanta.

The Angels slugger was actually the Braves' World Series MVP during their title in 2021, as he hit .242 with a .948 OPS and three homers, including a clutch shot in the World Series during the Braves' postseason run in 2021.

Soler was acquired in a trade twice by the Braves at the deadline, once in 2021 and another time in 2024. And there could be a third trade with Soler and the Braves this season.

But what would make this an even more hilarious trade would be that Soler was one of the leading actors in a rare mound-charging earlier this season with Braves pitcher Reynaldo Lopez.

This would be a fun move on paper for the Braves, and with the added context of his World Series MVP for the franchise, and the fight that occurred this season, the Angels' most likely trade candidate has a hilarious landing spot.
