Ozuna arrested on DUI charges?

The kemp deal was about moving the money up earlier in the calendar. He had more money per year but less years.

Maybe you could trade his 2/36 for a someone who was terrible but had a 1/40 deal.

I think it's the same deal I've been saying for a while.

You look into the offseason and see if someone would be willing to have him at 2/10. You eat the rest.

Braves are tracking to be a luxury tax team. They will be better off spreading Ozuna’s cost over multiple years.
 
Don't think there's a true bad contract for bad contract swap out there like there was at the time of the Olivera-Kemp deal.

That said, I wonder just how badly the Tigers might want out from under the Baez contract at this point. I don't even think throwing in a prospect and taking that money off their hands would make much sense - Baez is still owed 5/$120 million, so even if you have to give Dansby 6/$120 million you're really not helping things (especially if you can just shift Rosario to split DH ABs with Contreras and can bring Grossman back inexpensively to split time with Grissom in LF next year).

Truth be told, I'll just be happy to get Ozuna out of the clubhouse - for all his funny times and antics, I've always thought his personality was a ticking time bomb. I realize it appears from the outside that the other players have gotten along with him pretty well, but I'll personally be more than happy just to get him away from Acuna/Albies/Contreras/Harris/Grissom.

I have seen no reference to his first DV case nor the St Louis bar incident. I would think all combined would lead to at least deportation hearings but then he would probably just show up at the Texas-Mexico border shortly.
 
I’m guessing he got some news along the lines of “you won’t be playing much anymore”, and went off the deep end.

At this point the play is to suspend him and play the “we are going to help him get his act together, then welcome him back” card. At least that leaves the door open to him maybe contributing in the future.
