Atlanta Braves struggle to replace underperforming shortstop Arcia
Orlando Arcia, the Atlanta Braves' shortstop, has struggled offensively, continuing his poor performance from last season. He has a low batting average of .083 in Spring Training 2025, raising concerns about his role on the team. The Braves have limited options to replace Arcia. Nick Allen, acquired in a trade, is showing promise in Spring Training, while Eli White, primarily an outfielder, is also performing well. However, both players have their limitations. The Braves' top prospect, Nacho Alvarez Jr., is not ready for a major league role, and a potential trade for star shortstop Bo Bichette remains unlikely. The team faces challenges in finding a suitable replacement for Arcia.
