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

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.

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.

Can’t dislike this deal at all. Big add to the lineup and at no risk for 1 year. Really surprised there were no multi year deals out there. So is it Riley/Camargo at 3b or does AA make a trade? I’d love to go after Senzel now.
He was unlucky last year going by BABIP or wOBA/xwOBA differential.

I still hope we entertain a potential trade for Bryant, Arenado, or Clevenger... adding one of those guys really puts us over the top IMO
Per DOB- #Braves will use Ozuna as their everyday left fielder.

with this deal we see confirmation of 3 things
1) AA places great value in the flexibility provided by short-term deals
2) AA is a prospect hoarder. And has kept a path open for the best position prospects in the upper minors (Riley, Pache, Waters).
3) OD payroll is going up significantly to around $145M

I'm shocked by this. Thought for sure he'd get a multi year deal. This is much better than signing Donaldson. AA can still try to do something at third.
thank you weso1!
Is our payroll approaching 150 Million?
