4/15/25 | Braves-Rays trade idea would bring versatile All-Star to Atlanta. The Atlanta Braves have had a rough start to the season, but they could be looking to turn things around with a trade. Orlando Arcia has regressed since his All-Star season in 2023, and the Braves' outfield is clearly lacking Ronal Acuña Jr. However, Acuña should return soon and Ozzie Albies' ability to play shortstop gives them flexibility when exploring trades.

4/05/25 | Braves Nick Allen Quickly Establishing Himself at Shortstop. A minor addition over the offseason is making his presence known on the Atlanta Braves early in the regular season. The 26-year-old former Oakland Athletics prospect is thriving early on in his new scene. Meanwhile, the usual starter at shortstop, Orlando Arcia, has batted .154 with a .308 OPS in his four games at shortstop. Manager Brian Snitker hasn't had to prioritize offense over defense like he's had to in the past. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/braves/analysis/braves-nick... |

3/17/25 | Braves urged to trade for $74 million Dodgers Gold Glove infielder. The Atlanta Braves were decimated by injuries last season. When healthy they are one of the best teams in the National League. Orlando Arcia was an All-Star in 2023 but failed to meet expectations in 2024. If the Braves want to win the National League they will need to find an upgrade at shortstop. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/atlanta-braves... |
2/12/25 | Braves Shortstop Prospect Predicted to Be Future at Position. The Atlanta Braves shortstop situation remains a question mark heading into 2025. Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter put out a five-year plan for each MLB. For the Braves, Orlando Arcia is expected to stick around for 2025 and then that's all she wrote for him. Nacho Alvarez Jr., the Braves No. 4 prospect in 2024, would then take over the position. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/braves/news/braves-shortsto... |
1/15/25 | Braves Sign Contact-Hitting Dominican Shortstop: Report. The Atlanta Braves have yet to add a shortstop to compete with Orlando Arcia this offseason.

1/14/25 | Braves predicted to acquire $36 million Gold Glover to pair with Ozzie Albies. The Atlanta Braves are looking to rejoin the fray in 2025. Much of that was due to the rash of injuries they had to overcome, but there were also some roster holes that the Braves don't typically deal with. Shortstop may have been the biggest issue plaguing the Braves last year. Orlando Arcia never lost his grip on the starting job, but he was one of the five worst qualified hitters in all of baseball when the season ended by nearly every metric.

It was a diminished version of the Braves on display for most of the 2024 season, but Atlanta still managed to squeak out 89 wins and a playoff berth. The Braves should have better luck with health in the new year, and the rest of the league could suffer their wrath as a result. 2023 All-Star Orlando Arcia took a huge step back in 2024, which wasn't totally shocking given his poor underlying metrics, and cost the Braves at least a few wins with his bat.

12/31/24 | Braves would land $33 million superstar in 2-player deal with Blue Jays. The Atlanta Braves have not had a very eventful offseason. They could land a much-needed upgrade at shortstop through a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays. Orlando Arcia did not live up to the expectations he set during his All-Star season in 2023. Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer proposed this trade that brings Bo Bichette to Atlanta: Braves receive: shortstop Bo Bichette Blue Jays receive: left-handed pitcher Cam Caminiti Arcia's OPS dropped from .741 to .625 last season. The Braves need to bring in an upgrade. Bichette has one year left on his three-year, $33 million deal. Coming off a down year could put his trade value lower than ever.

12/25/24 | Braves urged to sign $33 million Blue Jays starter & cut ties with All-Star. The Atlanta Braves are in need of an upgrade at shortstop.

Much of the Braves lineup was decimated by injury this season, but the team's projected starting shortstop was healthy all season long. Unfortunately, Orlando Arcia, just one season after making an All-Star appearance, was one of the league's worst hitters. Arcia slashed .218/.275/.354, making him worth just 0.6 wins above replacement despite excellent defense. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/atlanta-braves... |
10/05/24 | Brewers Shortstop a Logical Free Agent Target for Atlanta Braves. One glaring one was at the shortstop position. Orlando Arcia's glove and a lack of an alternative were the only justifications for having him out there during the season. In 157 games, he batted .218 with a .625 OPS, 17 home runs and 46 RBIs. No matter how much the Braves might like Arcia, there are better options out there. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/braves/news/brewers-shortst... |
8/31/24 | Orlando Arcia, Braves bid to battle boo birds in Philly. Every time Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia has stepped into the batter's box at Citizens Bank Park in 2024, he has been greeted by boos from the Philadelphia Phillies fans. Entering Saturday night's matchup between the National League East rivals, Arcia might hope that the Phillies' fans continue to shower him with jeers. In Atlanta's 7-2 win on Friday, Arcia recorded his first multi-homer game as a Brave and just the second of his career, with the other coming in 2019 as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.

8/22/24 | Bryce Harper Bluntly Dismissed Orlando Arcia's Stare After Phillies' Win Over Braves. Conjuring up memories of the two clubs' showdown in the National League Division Series last October, Atlanta Braves infielder Orlando Arcia on Wednesday appeared to stare down Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper as the Braves shortstop rounded first base after hitting a home run in the bottom of the fourth inning. Harper, who had twice stared down Arcia during a two-homer game in response to a reported comment from the Braves infielder on a baserunning mistake made by the Phillies star last October, spoke to reporters after the game and dismissed Arcia's stare, saying he hadn't seen it, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic .
