In the summer of 2021, the Braves were entangled in a tumultuous season characterized by injuries, notably the loss of their star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. Despite their playoff odds plummeting to a stark 7% by late July, General Manager Alex Anthopoulos made crucial trades to revamp the team's lineup. The Braves' lineup, once struggling, exploded with newfound energy and resilience, culminating in a World Series victory against the Houston Astros.
