RIP to a legend!
I had the pleasure to meet him many times. He was always kind.

The Braves are looking for a left fielder, per MLB Insider Jon Morosi (via Twitter). Presumably, Atlanta would target a short-term investment rather than making a splashier move like, say, bringing back Marcell Ozuna. Ronald Acuna Jr., Ender Inciarte, and Cristian Pache make for an elite defensive alignment, and prospect Drew Waters is on his way. Nick Markakis could certainly find his way back if he wants to keep playing. If their aim is to to find a right-handed bat to spell Inciarte against southpaws, Adam Duvall could return, or Kevin Pillar, Albert Almora Jr. and Cameron Maybin are free agents with experience playing for a contender. If the Braves are looking for a more regular producer in order to give Pache and/or Waters more development time, Joc Pederson could fill the power void left by Ozuna’s departure. Speculatively speaking, Ryan Braun would make for an interesting fit if he decides to play outside Milwaukee. Not to be forgotten, Austin Riley has played some outfield during his short Major League career, but Atlanta expects Riley to lay claim to the hot corner in 2021. That would change if they were to add DJ LeMahieu, but despite their reported interest, such a union seems like a long shot.

I loved listening to Don Sutton on TBS back in the day when I could watch pretty much every Braves game - and the team was great every year. Sutton was clearly the dominant guy on those broadcasts and had a wealth of knowledge and a nice easygoing style. He was great. RIP Don Sutton.

Noticeably absent from that list of teams is the Braves, a club that was the beneficiary of Ozuna's monster 2020 season which saw him post a .338/.431/.636 batting line with 18 home runs and 56 RBI over 60 games. For what it's worth Braves president Alex Anthopoulos said early in the offseason that the team would "love" to re-sign Ozuna. That was three months ago, though. The general consensus is that Ozuna is more of a designated hitter at this point in his career, but it would seem he's drawing interest from clubs in both leagues.

Hector Gomez was the first to report that the two sides were close to reaching a multi-year contract. The deal also includes a $15 million option for a fifth season. Ozuna was a force in the middle of the Braves lineup in 2020, slashing a monstrous .338/.431/.636 with a league-leading 18 homers and 56 RBI -- finishing sixth in the voting for National League MVP. His return solidifies a Braves lineup that should once again be near the top of the league in offensive output.
