CINCINNATI — Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said his Trade Deadline focus was to focus on acquiring players who could help in 2026 and beyond. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to move at least one player, who doesn’t seemingly fit in the team’s future plans.
One day after not being traded and two weeks after being told he’d likely be a bench player, Marcell Ozuna batted fifth for the Braves in their 3-2 loss to the Reds on Friday afternoon at Great American Ball Park. How much Ozuna fills the designated hitter spot in favor of one of the team’s catchers (Sean Murphy or Drake Baldwin) over the rest of the season remains to be seen.
