The Atlanta Braves have every reason to trade Marcell Ozuna sooner rather than later. They need to get Drake Baldwin more at-bats to land an extra draft pick.

Specifically looking at the designated hitter spot (a position Ozuna has slotted in for the Braves in every game he has appeared since the start of the 2024 campaign), Texas has a minus-1.1 Wins Above Average (WAA) from their DHs this season. That's tied for 25th, and it's a clear area where Texas could upgrade at the trade deadline.

The Atlanta Braves are willing to listen to offers for Marcell Ozuna and Raisel Iglesias as the trade deadline approaches, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
