Summary
The Pittsburgh Pirates are stuck between a rock and a hard place with Marcell Ozuna — a $12M free agent who’s been a disaster this season, slashing just .186 with 5 homers and dragging down the offense. With Paul Skenes leading the charge and the team riding a hot streak, Ozuna’s negative bWAR and low OPS+ make him a liability they can’t afford. The Pirates may have no choice but to DFA him if his slump continues into June — a painful but necessary move to unlock offensive potential and chase playoff glory.
