Braves predicted to ship Marcell Ozuna to NL West in deadline deal

The Atlanta Braves' season has not lived up to expectations. The team is a long shot to make the postseason, and could trade some pending free agents in the coming week.

The Braves are not going to trade their star players like Ronald Acuña Jr. or Austin Riley. However, the team could cut ties with Marcell Ozuna. Ozuna is in the final year of his contract and has not had his best season. Brian Snitker has already mentioned that his playing time will be reduced.

He is a three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger. He is a full-time designated hitter, and ESPN's David Schoenfield predicted the Braves would trade him to the San Diego Padres.
