Since Marcell Ozuna has full no-trade protection, if he does agree to a deal, I hope fans recognize the respect that deserves. He’s been a good Brave and everyone who interacts with him seems to say the same. If he accepts a trade he doesn’t have to, he should get credit for that.
As for Jurickson Profar, is there any chance the Braves could send him back to the Padres—assuming Atlanta covers the remainder of his salary? I know A.J. Preller has always been high on him, and it seemed like money was the only real obstacle to a reunion earlier. I know it's probably a pipe dream, but it’s hard not to think about how much the team needed him at the start of the season—and what happened instead.
I'd love if they sent Profar, but his inability to play in this postseason means it's probably unlikely he moves to a contender this year. I could see an offseason or future trade, since he'd be eligible for October baseball again, but not a deadline deal.
Ozuna to San Diego for Tyson Neigbbors. Controllable RHP. Arguably the best reliever prospect in the 2024 draft
