Although Albies’ name came up in trade rumors, he’s now set to finish 2025 in Atlanta—leaving his future to be decided in the offseason. His seven-year, $35 million contract signed in 2019 includes club options for 2026 (with a $4 million buyout, effectively a $3 million commitment) and for 2027 (no buyout).

In this MLB mock trade scenario, the Atlanta Braves send Ozzie Albies and Raisel Iglesias to the Seattle Mariners for top prospects, signaling a potential shift toward a rebuild amid a disastrous 2025 season.

According to The Athletic's Jim Bowden, while the Braves "are not looking to move on from" veteran second baseman Ozzie Albies, they will still "listen to inquiries" leading up to the July 31 trade deadline.
