Potential Power hitters for the Atlanta Braves

Joey Gallo

If it’s straight power you are looking for, no team should look past Joey Gallo of the Texas Rangers who might be the most modern day power threat. Of course, any team that would be looking to acquire Gallo from Texas would have to deal with a low average in trade for that power.

Gallo would most likely love hitting in Atlanta as he could play pepper with the chophouse out in right field and do lots of trots around the bases.

Gallo is still young having just turned 27, and is under club control for a few more seasons. The new Rangers front office might want to go ahead and cash in on him now and maybe the Atlanta Braves would have interest if so?

Marcell Ozuna

No other option would be more simple than simply bringing back the man who lit it up in 2020. Marcell Ozuna seemed to enjoy his time with the Braves and the fans would love to have him back as well.

By now, we have all heard about his lackluster defense and maybe the Braves are trepid to trot him out there without the assurance of the DH. I think I speak for most though that we would be willing to sacrifice 1 year of potential sub-par defense to have Ozuna’s bat back in this lineup for a few more seasons.

Would Ozuna be as good as he was in 2020 if he were to come back? Probably not, but that’s only because he had a dream year last season. I do not think anyone would have a problem if he were to come back and run the same lineup out there again in 2021.
