Braves React to Ozzie Albies' History Amid Season
Braves React to Ozzie Albies' History Amid Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Atlanta Braves made history in Milwaukee, not just because they snapped a seven-game losing streak or because Chris Sale struck out seven batters. Advertisement Yes, both of those things happened during Atlanta's 7-1 win, but the most memorable moment came from second baseman Ozzie Albies. Albies picked up two hits, scored a run, and in doing so, notched the 1,000th hit of his Major League Baseball career, a rare milestone few players ever reach. Following the game, the Braves celebrated their veteran infielder's achievement on social media with a simple but powerful message: "History made: 1,000 hits and counting." Albies' first hit of the night, and the 999th of his career, came in the sixth inning with a one-out single to left field. He was left stranded that inning. Then, in the eighth, he singled to left again to reach 1,000 hits. Teammate Eli White followed with a home run that scored Albies and extended the Braves' lead to 7-1. Advertisement The 28-year-old from Curacao has had a slow start to the 2025 season. Through 65 games and 250 at-bats, he's batting just .236, currently a career low. He's hit six home runs and driven in 24 runs so far this season. Ozzie Albies of the Atlanta BravesBrett Davis-Imagn Images In 2024, Albies dealt with injuries and was limited to just 99 games, though he still managed to collect 100 hits. Since signing with Atlanta in July 2013, Albies has spent his entire career with the Braves. Albies has built an impressive resume, including three All-Star selections, two Silver Slugger Awards, two All-MLB Second Team honors, and a World Series title from 2021. Ozzie Albies now ranks 50th on the all-time hit list among active MLB players. He trails Tommy Pham by 15 hits for the 49th spot. Just ahead in the chase are Cody Bellinger, who sits at 999 hits, and Juan Soto with 991. Advertisement Despite the win, the Braves have struggled overall. Heading into Tuesday, they sat at 28-37, placing them fourth in the National League East and 13.5 games behind the division-leading New York Mets. While Albies' personal milestone was a bright spot, the Braves will need more than individual achievements to turn their season around.

Yankees-Braves Trade Proposal Would Swap Anthony Volpe for $35 Million All-Star
Even as more baseball fans embrace analytics and sabermetrics, consider New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe the prime example of why certain metrics don't always tell the whole story. Advanced statistics have favored Volpe since his 2023 debut, with him posting 8.2 bWAR over his first 364 games. However, the 24-year-old shortstop doesn't always pass the eye test, with his .228 career average and .672 OPS often infuriating the Yankees' loyal fanbase. Advertisement The Yankees have stuck by Volpe throughout his struggles, from missed opportunities at the plate to inconsistent fielding. But if the Yankees ever considered moving in another direction, they'd be wise to call the Atlanta Braves about a potential Volpe-Ozzie Albies swap. To be clear, there have been no credible trade rumors thus far regarding either player. Volpe entered Tuesday with a career-high .745 OPS over 192 plate appearances, and his 1.5 bWAR trails only Aaron Judge (3.7) among Yankees hitters. Albies, a three-time All-Star and lifelong Brave, owns a .225 average, five homers, and 17 RBI in 47 games. The 28-year-old has posted 0.2 bWAR and a career-worst .616 OPS across 204 plate appearances on a Braves team finally finding its momentum—and that in itself could inspire Atlanta to propose a bold trade. Advertisement Albies only has two seasons remaining on the seven-year, $35 million extension he inked in 2019. However, the Braves—or, alternatively, any team that acquires Albies in the coming months—have two team options, each with a $4 million buyout. Trading Volpe, who is under team control through 2028, is incredibly dangerous. The Yankees don't have reliable depth behind Volpe, and the thought of moving starting third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera to short ended last week following a severe ankle injury. Albies has only played second base in the majors, which would likely force Jazz Chisholm back to third. Chisholm, a natural second baseman, primarily played the hot corner after joining the Yankees last summer. Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie AlbiesBrett Davis-Imagn Images Although Chisholm has experience at shortstop, he hasn't played there since 2021. It's unclear whether or not he'd consider moving back to shortstop if the Yankees acquired Albies. Advertisement Trading Volpe also opens the door for top prospect George Lombard Jr. to take the reins at shortstop as early as next year. That's excellent news for Yankees fans, even as Lombard struggled to a 6-for-33 start at Double-A Somerset. The thought of Albies in pinstripes is tempting, especially with the two club options. However, it wouldn't be worth giving up Volpe, at least not this season. Now, if the two teams were to have that conversation at the Winter Meetings, that's a much different conversation...
