During his time in Atlanta, Arcia made the 2023 MLB<\/a> All-Star Game (and helped the franchise win the 2021 World Series title).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people were saying about the news:<\/p>\n

@Ole075:<\/a> \u201cPossible incoming trade plan for Arcia?\u201d<\/p>\n

@2__CANEZ:<\/a> \u201cDude just hit clean up a week ago\u201d<\/p>\n

@buxtonSupporter:<\/a> \u201cThat timing is interesting given that Arcia was playing decent?\u201d<\/p>\n

@KarterKudrna33:<\/a> \u201cDon\u2019t understand it at all. .271 batting average and can play better defense than half of the infield. Would expect someone to claim him in a hurry in my opinion\u201d<\/p>\n

@WilliamMaloneIV:<\/a> \u201cNever understood why Orlando Arcia was in the first place. Was a great defensive shortstop, but that\u2019s a past tense statement. He\u2019s just a second baseman who can\u2019t hit. And I get you won\u2019t have 13 guys who hit (even the Dodgers<\/a> don\u2019t). But still. Better guys for #MNTwins to use.\u201d<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if another team claims (or trades) for Arcia now that he is available.<\/p>\n
