Speaking of disappointing teams, the Rangers haven't bounced back to their 2023 championship form as hoped, and that could mean a soft pivot of sorts at the deadline. The emphasis, however, is on soft, as ESPN's Buster Olney reports :

The Atlanta Braves have some difficult trade deadline decisions to make. They'll likely be sellers, but how aggressive will they approach the deadline?

One of their biggest trade chips is designated hitter Marcell Ozuna, who is in the final year of his contract. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report recently predicted that while the Braves don't have many pieces to sell, Ozuna will likely be somewhere else after the trade deadline.
