Braves Predicted to Cut Ties With Marcell Ozuna in 1-for-1 Swap With Mariners

At this point, the brave of Atlanta simply hope to recover something for Marcell Ozuna.

It was a disastrous season for the brave, and Ozuna is only an other example of unforeseen disappointment. After hitting 79 circuits with an OPS over 0.900 for the two previous campaigns, it is barely above an average league striker and has only 14 long balls.

But one of these circuits came on Monday evening against the Royals of Kansas City, so the brave probably hit the phones harder than ever in the hope of arouse interest in the 34 -year -old designated striker.

Will Ozuna have a new house before the commercial deadline on Thursday evening? Jay Staph and Ryan Finkelstein from Just Baseball believe it.

On Monday, Staph and Finkelstein predicted that the Braves would send Ozuna to the Seattle Mariners for the prospect of pitching Michael Morales, which has just made rates like the 11th best prospect of the Seattle system.

“Assuming that another team landed (Eugenio) Suárez, the navies will remain through a sterile market to find bats. This could make Marcell Ozuna an attractive leaflet to connect to their DH Spot,” wrote Staph and Finkelstein.

“If the brave can have it rediscovered its command, they can have a starting launcher which provides a certain depth at the higher levels of their agricultural system,” they added the return scheduled for Atlanta. “At 22, Morales is a good project for brave to face in a business like this.”

To a certain extent, the Ozuna market is linked to Suárez. Although the latter can play on the third basis, the two mainly arouse interest, but many could be there, for their ability to add a noise to the programming of a rival team.

And any return for Ozuna, who should become a free agent, is a good return for the brave at this stage, so the deadline taking place in this scenario would be ideal.
