Veteran slugger's future in Atlanta looks murky as trade rumors swirl

Marcell Ozuna’s time in Atlanta might be running out.

The 34-year-old designated hitter has seen his role start to shrink after a sluggish start to the season, and with the trade deadline closing in, the Atlanta Braves could be preparing to shop the veteran slugger one last time.

Could the Braves finally be ready to move on from Marcell Ozuna?

Ozuna’s production has taken a noticeable dip in 2025. Through 90 games, he’s hitting .239 with a .762 OPS and 13 homers, a big drop from the All-Star level he showed just a year ago when he finished fourth in NL MVP voting.
