Alex Anthopoulos says Braves won’t trade Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATLANTA — Unlike one of Atlanta’s former general managers, Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos didn’t go as far as to say he would cut off his right arm before trading one of his superstars. 

But he still made it adamantly clear Ronald Acuña Jr. won’t be dealt this winter. 

“There’s not even a hint of smoke to it,” Anthopoulos said. “There’s zero.”
