Marcell Ozuna rejected his qualifying offer from the St. Louis Cardinals. Ozuna is now free to sign with any major league team, however, unless that team is the Cardinals, it’ll cost a high draft pick. That doesn’t seem to scare the Cincinnati Reds, who are looking to upgrade their offense this winter.
Ozuna can certainly help in that department. The right-handed slugger slashed .241/.328/.472 with 29 home runs and 89 RBIs in just 130 games played. Ozuna missed a little over a month with a fractured finger, but otherwise, he’s been incredibly durable over his seven-year career.
