Braves dynasty arc hits a brutal stall in 2025 as injuries and depth issues derail a plan built around Acuña Jr., Strider, and a core of Harris II, Riley and Olson. The rotation buckles with Fried and Morton leaving gaps; Profar’s PED suspension tests position players; offense regresses from 2023’s historic output. Yet the club still houses a prime-age core and a rising rotation, offering a plausible path back in 2026 with health, bullpen retooling, and a veteran innings-eater.
