Not even. They wouldn’t take Ozuna at all at his age and that price.


On a 1/$16M deal, an expansion team would be interested. No long term damage on a one year deal, he still has some pop in his bat, and despite the off field stuff, he is clearly a beloved clubhouse guy. A team with a bunch of young Latin players, for example, would definitely be interested.

Who was the last expansion team, the Rays? Rockies and Marlins before that? Regardless, it’s been so long I don’t remember, but I don’t think they entered the league ready to compete. And Ozuna’s contract only makes sense to a team competing. And it would be a terrible waste of a team’s limited expansion draft picks. 1 year of control? They’d take younger guys with more team control. Ozuna would be a non-starter.

Like the Pittsburgh Pirates for instance.

Speaking of the Pirates, does anybody know the contract status of Brian Reynolds. I wonder how he would fit on our team if we were ever to part with Ozuna/Rosario
