Outfielder Marcell Ozuna, who hit 29 home runs last season, the second of two adequate if unexceptional seasons in St. Louis, on Tuesday agreed to the terms of a free-agent contract with the Atlanta Braves.
The deal is for one year and worth $18 million. It’s pending a physical but has been confirmed by the Braves. Atlanta is getting another big bat to add to its already potent lineup. The Braves will be hoping this one-year deal pays off like signing Josh Donaldson to a one-year deal last offseason.
The Braves had tried to re-sign Donaldson before he opted to join the Minnesota Twins.
