Just saw that he was the NL player of the week or something and in the 15 games in June so far is that he has been hitting .411 with 7 homers in June after hitting something like .260 with 3 homers in the first two months. This is the Ozuna that the Cards need for sure.

Only Ozuna could drive in Ozuna.

Sounds about right. Ozuna heats up and the rest of the team decides to take a break.

So much for this.

Ozuna being worse than what Piscotty would give us is a big reason for sucking.

Yep, very true...if ozuna was just even close to last year, we’d be a lot better.

Ive mentioned a bunch, that last year seemed like an outlier...now seems like a huge outlier.

Ozuna is like bad Heyward without the great defense.

Here’s some chatter from Mark Feinsand of MLB.com:

“Would the Cardinals consider trading Marcell Ozuna? According to a source, the outfielder is not the most popular player in St. Louis’ clubhouse. With one more year of arbitration eligibility left before becoming a free agent, Ozuna — who is having a subpar season in his first year with the Cards — could benefit from a change of scenery and bring back a prospect or two for St. Louis.” I can’t tell you about Ozuna’s overall popularity inside the St. Louis clubhouse. But I do know there’s been some grumbling over Ozuna’s resistance to accept advice from coaches and teammates that try to help him get into the swing, so to speak.

Who doesn't like Ozuna?

Why would we trade Ozuna when his value could never be lower? Worth way more to us at this point. Even for one season.

NEVER SELL LOW. EVER.
