I honestly think the Braves would jump at the chance to make this deal. Big overpay by Cubs, imo, but what it would take to pry Acuna from Braves, despite injury and off year. In this scenario, Busch moves to 2B, Belli to 1B (provided he stays, which I think he will). Acuna goes to RF. Baldwin takes over at C for Braves. Hoerner replaces Arcia at SS. Canario platoons with Kelenic, and Seiya takes over RF for Braves. Taillon replaces Fried's spot in rotation. Plus, Atlanta saves $40 million. Who says no?
