Mauricio Dubón has won a pair of Gold Gloves while serving as one of baseball’s best utility players over the past few years. Will he now become the Braves’ primary shortstop?
Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos wasn’t ready to commit to a specific role after acquiring Dubón from the Astros in exchange for infielder Nick Allen on Wednesday night. But Anthopoulos didn’t rule out the possibility that the 31-year-old infielder will be Atlanta’s shortstop at the start of the 2026 season.
