KC (I think) was right-- the later it gets, the less likely either gets major cash.
Very few deep pocket teams have both a need for a corner OF and cash to spend.
The Angels are good. So is Arizona. LA has 14 good hitting OF with better gloves than either Ozuna or Castellanos. Chicago's out. (Both teams.) Houston's in a bind now, salary-wise. Texas doesn't seem to be playing. St. Louis has a bunch of young guys ready to go. Boston isn't looking, nor is either New York team. Atlanta's good.
Who does that leave?
i like this development. but i thought the rangers were involved with castellanos?
either way, this sets up very nicely for the reds perhaps.
then again, it's difficult for me to imagine ozuna and castellanos getting less than moustakas did, but maybe it's lining up that way.
Ozuna to the Braves on a 1 year deal.

Ozuna goes to Braves. 18M, 1 year.
that is stunning. what a coup for the braves.
It'll be interesting to see what the Cards do now.
A one year deal after all those teams pursued him? That’s incredibly strange.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Isn’t that less than the qualifying offer?
Never mind, it’s $17.8M.

It seems the QO hurt another player in free agency, even with the lower pick now at stake. It’s going to be interesting when the CBA expires.
