Per Jeff Passan

[Heyward]

1 year, 18 million per Passan

Not a bad deal

[CyYoung31]

Basically Donaldson 2.0. Except without the injury history and nowhere near as good a hitter.

He better shave that god-awful bleached beard.

[CyYoung31]

I wonder what Acuna thinks about this.

[The Chosen One]

Wow.

Going to fun (lol not) watching him and Acuna navigating 2/3s of the outfield next year.

[The Chosen One]

Technically you got this first.

[TheBravos]

Ozuna will be great to rest Neck once a week or so....

Did you forget who's managing?

[The Chosen One]

Can Washington help Ozuna's outfield defense?

[brian22]

Once again, good job AA. I’m impressed.

[UNCBlue012]

I’m ecstatic.

[The Chosen One]

OZUNA WILL BREAK THE CURSE.

[The Chosen One]

Read some conflicting stuff, the Braves won't be able to offer a QO to Ozuna next year like Milwaukee couldn't with Grandal?


Edit: A player can't be offered a QO back to back seasons.

A player can only be offered the QO once in their careers.

Hard not to, i mean. 1 year deal, keeps Pache/Waters down pretty much all year. Doesnt add long-term financial strain in the coming years.

Thing is, Braves have a TRUCKLOAD of money off the books next year. Hamels, MM, Ozuna, Greene, Nick, Flowers. Ender is a possible trade candidate too. O'Day is likely to have his option declined. Folty could get non-tendered.

[TheBravos]

There another draft pick also if he has good year. AA playing that system.

Ozuna cant be offered a pick.

[skillet]

We can't offer him a qualifying offer next off-season, it can only be offered once, so we can't recoup it later.
