So, they have a mediocre lefty-masher in ATL now. I mean, it might be better than Ozuna. But, Ozuna probably starts mostly anyhow unless they eat that contract.

Kinda the definition of a 5th OF, desperate DH which is the sort of thing you spend $1.4 M on. He's not there to take PAs away from Ozuna (who's more the DH anyway), he's there to fill some of the PAs that went to Duvall and Grossman and provide an option if Rosario tanks again.
