The Atlanta Braves are being linked to a notable offseason trade candidate.

CBS Sports' Mike Axisa recently named the Braves as one of the top offseason potential landing spots for Washington Nationals star shortstop CJ Abrams.

"Abrams could bring back an enormous package of not just prospects, but MLB-ready players who can help Washington win in 2027. Super early possible landing spots**:** Braves, Pirates, Red Sox," Axisa wrote.

Seeing the Braves be named as a potential offseason trade destination for Abrams is entirely understandable. It is clear that the Braves need to look to improve at the shortstop position this offseason, and bringing in a star like Abrams would undoubtedly help them do just that.

There is also a real chance that Abrams will get traded during the offseason. The 25-year-old was a very popular name in the rumor mill leading up to the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, and it would not be surprising if the Nationals moved him this winter because of it.

In 115 games this season with the Nationals, Abrams has recorded 28 home runs, 89 RBI, 125 hits, and a .288 batting average. With numbers like these, he would be a massive pickup for the Braves if they successfully acquired him this offseason.

It will be interesting to see if the Braves can swing a deal for Abrams this upcoming offseason. They have been connected to him in the past, and he would undoubtedly be a great addition to the front half of their lineup if brought in.
