With no defensive value left and other players like Reynolds and O’Hearn stepping into the DH role, manager Don Kelly says they’re navigating the situation daily — balancing team needs with Ozuna’s clubhouse leadership. Despite his slump, Ozuna remains respected and is mentoring young stars like Oneil Cruz, handling the slump with professionalism. The Pirates, who signed him after letting go of Andrew McCutchen (also a DH), now face a tough decision: cut him and pay the rest of his contract, or keep him hoping for a turnaround.
