The Los Angeles Angels are in a familiar spot this season: sitting at the bottom of the AL West standings. Even with Mike Trout looking like his old self and Jose Soriano dominating on the mound, the team just can't seem to climb out of last place. That means trade deadline sellers are back on the menu in Anaheim.

If the Angels do decide to shake things up, one name stands out above the rest as the most likely to be packing his bags: slugger Jorge Soler. Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller recently highlighted Soler as the Angels' prime trade candidate, noting that he's been traded at both the 2021 and 2024 deadlines—and he's actually hitting better this season than he did in those previous campaigns.

On paper, Soler makes perfect sense as a trade piece. He's on a one-year, $13 million deal for 2026, making him an affordable rental for any contender looking to add some pop. But here's where things get interesting: there's one potential landing spot that would be absolutely hilarious for a few reasons—the Atlanta Braves.

Soler and the Braves have quite the history. He was a key part of Atlanta's 2021 World Series championship run, earning World Series MVP honors after hitting .242 with a .948 OPS and three home runs, including a clutch blast that helped seal the title. The Braves have actually traded for Soler twice before—once in 2021 and again in 2024—so a third reunion would be almost comical.

But wait, there's more. Earlier this season, Soler was one of the main characters in a rare mound-charging incident involving Braves pitcher Reynaldo Lopez. Imagine the awkwardness of those first clubhouse interactions if Soler ends up back in Atlanta.

On the field, this move makes a lot of sense for the Braves. They know exactly what they're getting in Soler: a proven power hitter who has delivered in the biggest moments. Add in the World Series MVP history and the recent on-field drama, and this potential trade would be one of the most entertaining storylines of the season.
