3x All-Star Ronald Acuna Jr. Brutally Shuts Down False Rumors Hinting at an Unlikely Trade

Atlanta Braves slugger Ronald Acuna Jr. is one of the most exciting players in the league. Known for his incredible speed, power, and athleticism, Acuna Jr. has already established himself in the league in his five-year MLB career. Although Acuna did not play the 2022 season entirely because of his injury, the Braves slugger played a crucial role in taking his team to the postseason and winning the division. And now, he is all set for the 2023 season. 

When talking about the 2022 season, the slugger’s play last season was not at the best of his capacity. But the Braves decided to put their faith in him and did not trade him in the off-season. However, rumors recently emerged that Acuna Jr. had asked his team for a trade. As the buzz started to spread, the young Venezuelan came forward and put a stop to them.

 Ronald Acuna Jr. put an end to the rumor mills

Being tired of baseball fans making their own assumptions about his career, Acuna Jr. had enough of the rumors that he decided to take it upon himself to end them. One Twitter user wrote (translated by google in English), “Atlanta is looking for a team for Acuña Jr…exchange…requested by him everything has consequences in life!”

The outfielder, being done with any wrong updates about his career, replied (translated by google in English), “My brother, you don’t have anyone to entertain yourself with, do you create a twitter so that? Giving false information, start doing your homework, start exercising your mind. I am calm here with my team, stop publishing gaffes.” Followed by a few clown emoticons.

After the 2022 season ended, in November, the Athletic reported that even though Acuna Jr. could not play up to his full potential, the team is not looking forward to trading him. Despite the team saying that they won’t be trading him, looking at the rumors around must have made the outfielder angry enough to come forward.

How did the slugger play in MLB’s 2022 season?

Acuna Jr. suffered from a torn ACL ahead of the 2022 season. Because of this, he could not participate in spring training. He remained on the injury list until April 27. And even after that, he continued to push through his pain to get just 15 home runs in 119 games.
