Cardinals Kept Talking But Marcell Ozuna Winds Up Walking

After the 2019 postseason ended and the free agency period quickly ensued, the Cardinals made free agent left fielder Marcell Ozuna a standard, one-year, qualifying offer of $17.8 million in order to ensure a high draft choice if Ozuna signed with someone else. More than two months later, Ozuna, who turned down that offer, has signed with someone else, the Atlanta Braves, for one year at $18 million, as the Cardinals apparently did not come off that qualifying figure very much, if any, in the 75 days or so since it was made.
