More than they would have paid had they picked him up off waivers, lol.

Where does he play? Stanton is DH. You want Ozuna in LF? You will be losing your mind watching him play the OF. He's bad.Quote:

I am not talking about one being healthier than the other. I am talking, Redundancy. Repetitive players of the same qualities. Multiple players of the same type that do not help this team.
Or do you like Ozuna because he hits HRs?
The cost for Taillon was insignificant so bring him the fold. It can't hurt. But, it still doesn't cure a very questionable rotation behind Cole. The 9 guys on the depth chart behind Cole have a combined 400 MLB innings thrown over the past 2 years, not a rotation which I would expect a team looking to get a ring to throw out there.
We will see if the risk pays off by the trade deadline. If it doesn't, I say trade them all and reboot. This ruins over.
I just looked at Ozuna's fielding stats and he is more than adequate. He had a 7 DRS in 2017 and a 5 DRS in 2018 with the Marlins at LF.Quote:

I don't know why the Braves had him DH that much, sometimes it's just because you have someone who is superior as a fielder and it's the best option is to DH the guy. Kinda like what happened with Stanton and Judge in RF.
Here are Ozuna's stats as a fielder:

i would love it if the yankees traded for Ketel Marte. Give them German, Monty, Andujar and Florial. Arizona is a mess and in desperate need of starting pitching and some offense. Marte looks like he could be the next breakout star and he can actually play center, ss, and 2b extremely well. This is the perfect time to do it with so many teams dumping player salaries. He's owed over 32 million over the next 4 years.
Marte would be fantastic and his versatility would be incredibly valuable. He is also a switch hitter. I think he costs a lot more than the Yankees scraps though.Quote:

It's not without it's risks, but i believe it's one worth taking for a player like Marte.Quote:

Ozuna has provided little value as an outfielder since departing Miami. He grades as below-average in Statcast’s outs above average and outfielder jump metrics—ranking in the 13th and 29th percentile, respectively. On the positive side, he is credited with 2 DRS, thanks in large part to a strong throwing arm. That’s not a bad mark at all, but teams may be hesitant to project that performance into his thirties as he
seeks a multi-year deal.

Ozuna’s defensive limitations are well-documented. He’s accrued 20 errors since 2016, tied for the third-most among outfielders over that span. The Fielding Bible’s defensive runs saved metric, which attempts to quantify how many runs a given player accounts for on defense more or less than average, pegs Ozuna at -1 runs since the 2019 season began — a span of 1,274 innings spent in the outfield.

If the Braves, or any other NL team interested in Ozuna, are serious about signing the 30-year-old slugger, they will likely have to swallow his defensive limitations for at least the 2021 season.
Many others site his speed is slowing, his arm has weakened. His UZR was a negative last year.
Again, my point was, how many power hitting right handed bats with limited fielding ability does this team need?
If you want an OF, why not Brantley? He made sense. Ozuna does not. Puig does not.
If you see differently, ok. But I think the addition of Ozuna, a fielder in serious decline since a gold glove, is redundant and further hinders an already one dimensional lineup.

Prospect going to the #RedSox from the #Yankees is Frank German
Nah, Starling Marte only had one more year of control and has an AAV of 12.5M. Ketel Marte has four more years and his AAV is 4.8M. Ketel just turned 27 and is just hitting his prime while Starling is 32. Ketel is far more highly regarded and considered a rising star. These two guys aren't comparable. Arizona wouldn't take all the Yankees broken pieces. German was ok when he was playing and now he hasn't pitched in a long time due to suspension. Monty hasn't looked the same and is looked at as a back end starter anyways. Andujar is a player with no position who hasn't hit in years and the Dbacks don't have a DH spot. Florial has kinda sucked for years and has little to no value at this point. Dbacks would need two top prospects at least for Marte and then some.Quote:
