Braves Plan $80M Trade of 3x All-Star Ozuna to Rangers

The Texas Rangers are actively bolstering their bullpen and lineup depth this season by signing veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to a minor league deal after his release from the Atlanta Braves. Kimbrel, a potential Hall of Famer with 440 career saves, had a strong minor league showing in 2025 but limited major league action this year. Meanwhile, the Rangers could also be a potential trade destination for Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna, who is in the final year of his contract and could help address Texas' offensive struggles. The Atlanta Braves, facing a disappointing 2025 season far below .500, may look to trade Ozuna to acquire prospects for rebuilding. On the other hand, the San Francisco Giants have improved their bullpen significantly and recently signed former Rockies reliever Scott Alexander to a minor league deal, aiming to add depth and reliable innings. Additionally, Jackson Wells, a right-handed pitcher from Little Rock, has transferred to the Arkansas Razorbacks, who will compete in the Men's College World Series starting June 14.
