in a development that comes as no surprise, the Dodgers Digest comment section has been inundated with several new Trevor-fans making GBS threads up the place and trying to dunk on all the "snowflakes" over the signing

I think there's enough talent in the outfield to cover some of his shortcomings. Something like what they did with Markakis in his last couple years with Atlanta.

would be a bargain at that price even if he regresses back near career norms

obviously they wouldn't do this if the DH weren't a fix for 2022, and it will mean Pache being positioned in center-left all this year, but pretty happy to keep Ozuna, the team seemed to vibe around him

Would you like to play a game?



There was very little competition this winter for players (which I'm sure is purely coincidental and not collusion right before a new CBA) which is why Ozuna has probably been holding out. But a lot of players are already reporting to ST camps to work out, and official workouts start next week (unless something changes before then), so I think the players are just trying to get signed at this point.

Marcell Ozuna is only 30 years old. How is he a DH-only guy at this point, did he lose all his knees or something?

He's just really bad in the field and also shoulder surgery ruined his throwing arm

He lost 4-5 mph because dude became rail thin and lost all his power. There's something deeper there

even when he was young Ozuna's best defensive trait was his arm. Then he had shoulder surgery, going from a canon to a noodle. Combine that with losing a step in speed and never really developing really good defensive instincts and you go from "he can probably play center" to "well you can hide him in LF if you have to".
