There’s an absolute nightmare scenario brewing on the horizon for the Atlanta Braves. If New York Yankees superstar Juan Soto signs in the National League East, either with the New York Mets or Philadelphia Phillies, the Braves will need to match that signing with a blockbuster move of their own.

FanSided’s Christopher Kline pointed this doomsday scenario out this week, noting three moves the Braves could make to combat this potential nightmare signing. At the top of Kline’s list, he wrote, “Alex Bregman is the Braves infield solution nobody is talking about.”

That’s right. Kline is recommending the Braves sign the projected $119 million Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman while they already have an All-Star at the hot corner.

“The best front offices in the MLB are creative. On the surface, Alex Bregman isn’t a fit for Atlanta. He’s a battle-tested third baseman and the Braves already have an All-Star at the hot corner in Austin Riley,” Kline wrote. “That said, what if Bregman takes over second base and Albies moves to shortstop, a position he frequented before his ascent with Atlanta’s big-league squad?”

This idea is intriguing. There are likely better options out there for Atlanta if it wanted to pursue something like this though. Signing Willy Adames would be a better move. Signing Gleyber Torres would be a much more cost-effective one, though not as impactful.

But, if the Braves can lure Bregman away from Houston, they would have the ability to play either Albies or Bregman at shortstop. It’s not the worst idea. It’s a very interesting thought to put into your brain as free agency continues.
