Overview
- The 34-year-old DH will reach free agency after six seasons in Atlanta following a 2025 line of .232/.355/.400 with 21 home runs and 68 RBIs.
- After a hip-affected decline from his 2023–24 peak, multiple outlets predict Atlanta will let him walk rather than lock in another year at DH.
- Reporting says midseason trade efforts stalled when Ozuna exercised 10-and-5 approval rights, either personally or via his agent.
- A roughly $22 million qualifying offer has been floated as a way for the Braves to secure draft compensation if he signs elsewhere.
- Early speculation names the Mariners and Rangers as potential landing spots should he leave Atlanta.
