The Atlanta Braves hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game Three of the National League Division Series on October 6, 2026, at Truist Park. A recent analysis raises the question of whether the Braves made a “deliberate decision” to buy wins for the 2026 season through offseason acquisitions and roster moves.
Mauricio Dubon, wearing number 14, was photographed fielding a ground ball during the seventh inning of that game. The Braves' front office has not publicly commented on the characterization of their strategy as buying wins.
