Designated Hitter
A prediction suggests that Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna will leave the team as a free agent and sign with the AL contender Cleveland Guardians. Ozuna, a three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger, had a solid but below-par 2025 season with 21 home runs and 68 RBIs. The Braves face decisions on replacing him if he departs.

The Atlanta Braves are prioritizing a shortstop, rotation improvements, and bullpen reconstruction, but may also seek additional hitting depending on their shortstop pursuit. President of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos indicated openness to re-signing Marcell Ozuna or adding a designated hitter. The team's potential free-agent loss of Ozuna highlights the need to address offensive gaps.
