The Atlanta Braves are discussing a potential trade of designated hitter Marcell Ozuna to the San Diego Padres for two pitchers, Francis Peña and Ryan Bergert, as the Braves navigate a disappointing season. Ozuna, who is struggling due to a hip injury, has been benched recently. Peña is a 24-year-old relief prospect with a fastball that reaches nearly 100 mph, while Bergert is seen as a promising option for the Braves' rotation amid injuries. This trade would provide the Braves with valuable pitching assets.
The Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres are in discussions to send designated hitter Marcell Ozuna west in exchange for two pitchers, according to a report from Hector Gomez.
Ozuna, a free agent at season's end, has struggled mightily since it was revealed in early June that he was playing through a tear in his hip.
The Braves would receive Padres' No. 18 prospect RHP Francis Peña and No. 21 prospect RHP Ryan Bergert.
Francis Pena is a 24-year-old relief prospect who threw well in 2024 but has struggled with command in 2025.
