Braves Writers Float Jo Adell Trade to Fill Outfield Hole After Profar Ban

The floated deal highlights Atlanta’s willingness to pay prospects for a controllable power glove in response to a season-long suspension.

Overview

  • Sports columns propose that Atlanta target Angels outfielder Jo Adell to replace Jurickson Profar, who received a 162-game PED suspension.
  • One published mock deal sends Adell to the Braves for three prospects: right-handers Didier Fuentes and Luke Sinnard and outfielder Conor Essenburg.
  • Writers point to Adell’s recent three home run robberies on defense and his 37 homers in 2025 as proof he can help now in the field and at the plate.
  • Adell is under team control through 2027, which raises his price and makes him a fit for a contender, though there are no reports of active talks.
  • Analysts note the Angels may balk today, yet interest could build if they slide in the standings, and an Atlanta move would likely end Profar’s role with the club.
