Braves In Running For Marcell Ozuna, Nicholas Castellanos
5 years agoThe Atlanta Braves are still searching for a middle-of-the-order bat to replace third baseman Josh Donaldson, and outfielders Marcell Ozuna and Nicholas Castellanos are seen as the most likely options. Ozuna and Castellanos are both by far the two best available bats on the free-agent market. Both offer solid power profiles at the corner outfield spots. Although neither can play the hot corner in Atlanta, their presence would certainly help make up for the loss of Donaldson's thump in the batting order. As of now, Austin Riley is likely to see most of the playing time at third base now that Donaldson is in Minnesota, which will open up a spot in the corner outfield in Atlanta.
