The Atlanta Braves are slowly regaining their form in the 2025 season, winning four of their last five games despite earlier inconsistencies. Manager Brian Snitker's position remains secure, although some fans are calling for change. The return of Ronald Acuña Jr. from injury and Jurickson Profar from suspension adds optimism. However, ace pitcher Chris Sale's name has surfaced in trade rumors due to his earlier struggles, although the Braves' GM has stated that a trade is unlikely.

Sale, the 2024 Cy Young award winner, originally had a rough start to the season but has improved significantly in May, boasting a 2.79 ERA in his last several outings. The Braves hold an option for Sale at the end of the season, giving them the potential to retain him if his performance continues to rise. As the season progresses, watch for how both Sale's form and the team's overall performance evolve.
