"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."
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.
