Lets go
Ozuna to stick with Braves for 4 years, $64M
The
Atlanta Braves have struck an agreement to bring back outfielder
Marcell Ozuna on a four-year, $64 million deal, the team announced in a statement Friday.
The contract includes a fifth-year club option that would take it to $80 million and $65 million in guaranteed money, the team said.
Ozuna took a gamble on himself after the 2019 season, turning down a $17.8 million qualifying offer from the
St. Louis Cardinals, and signed a one-year, $18 million deal with the Braves in late January. The move paid off handsomely, as the slugger finished sixth in the National League MVP voting after leading the league with 18 home runs, 56 RBIs and 145 total bases. He was third in the NL with a career-best .338 batting average and .636 slugging percentage.
