Braves could acquire four-time Gold Glove Award winner to boost outfield

The Atlanta Braves certainly will have a busy month.

Atlanta is considered a contender to win the 2024 World Series despite a plethora of high-impact injuries. The Braves will be looking to bolster the roster at the trade deadline and fill in the gaps left by Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr.

The trade deadline will come and pass on July 30th and there will be plenty of options out there who could help the Braves out. There are options out there if the Braves want to complete a blockbuster deal, but also there will be smaller trades out there.

One player who could make a lot of sense is Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier. Toronto has struggled this season and Kiermaier could end up getting moved, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.

"Free agent to be Yusei Kikuchi is probably a more likely trade candidate, along with Yimi Garcia," Heyman said. "And rival teams would love to see Chris Bassitt out there, too. If they pay deals down, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Kevin Kiermaier, and Justin Turner are tradeable, too."

Kiermaier is one of the best defensive players in baseball and has won four Gold Glove Awards. He has somewhat struggled offensively this season but slashed .265/.322/.419 last season so there is reason for hope that he could turn things around soon.

Atlanta needs help in the outfield and Kiermaier could provide that and fantastic defense.
