In a bold move before Tuesday’s MLB trade deadline, the Atlanta Braves made a significant acquisition. They brought back a fan-favorite World Series hero who had previously played with them.
Jorge Soler is returning to Atlanta after being traded from the San Francisco Giants, where he had a short tenure.
ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan reported on the trade, which also included the return of Luke Jackson, who had previously pitched for the Braves.

In 2021, Soler hit a pivotal, game-changing home run that was crucial in leading the Braves to their World Series win, marking the team’s first championship since 1995.

Now, he’s rejoining a Braves squad that looks set for the MLB Postseason. While repeating past success is rare, Atlanta fans are hopeful for a similar outcome. With Soler’s powerful bat added to the lineup, the team is eager to see if he can make a significant impact once more.
