Trade Ozuna. He is going to decline the production for this year and he has better trade value than Soler
Why would you trade the player that was the the best player of the season, what is wrong with you all, for even suggesting this!
Joler can’t catch a cold in the outfield, he should way before Ozuna!
I think neither gets traded
I’ve been a braves fan my whole 62 years of my existence and if they get rid of Ozuna What a stupid thing to do. This guy has done nothing but get hits and home runs . Why would you do this?
Imagine if they could trade both.
Then:
– upgrade shortstop
– Laureano/Kelenic LF
– Rotate DH w/ Ronnie, Travis, Albies (terrible in the field, and you have Arcia as backup)
Thanks for this guys. Love hearing the debate to try and give points/arguments for trading either player to the fanbase. That being said, I think most people agree including Lindsey that Soler is the guy that should be traded. Hes younger than Ozuna, has multiple years of control that teams value, has at least some playability in the outfield if an emergency happens, and doesn’t have the Potential PR problems that Ozuna has from his past off the field issues
After AA said he has been chasing Soler for a couple of years why would he turn around and trade him. Ain’t happening
Ozuna has earned a no trade clause. So it's up to him if he wants to be traded
If Soler had trade value the Giants would of not traded him for nothing
So…none of you guys are concerned that Ronald Acuna may re injury either knee. Appears none of you guys are thinking that he won't DH and theres no talk of that happening. After all, we have never see a great hitter just play DH for a whole year after a major injury. Cough ,cough Ohtani.Its like everyone wants to just roll the dice next year and hope everything goes our way. With injury concerns, with Lopez, Sale, Strider, Acuna. Not to mention the usually guys who get hurt like Harris, Ozzy and Murphy. Again ALL you guys forget what killed us in 22( Strider oblique and Fried getting sick) 23'( we can argue about the offense but game 3 Elder was the decider and you guys know that, once harper hit that god dam 3 run shot it was over) 24'( Sale, not being able to go game 1). ALL you guys are stuck at SS and the offense. It's perplexing, it really is. I hate that stupid saying about those you forget history. That's why im not even going to type it, but you know what I mean.
