Ozuna Pact Sparks Pirates’ Offensive Push and 3B Quest

The Pirates signed Marcell Ozuna to a one-year deal with a mutual option for 2027, boosting their offense as they push to upgrade at third base and add a left-handed starter. Ozuna’s move to DH could dampen talk of a McCutchen reunion and likely ends Pittsburgh’s pursuit of Isaac Paredes, who’s owed $9.35M in 2026. With Ozuna in the fold, Pittsburgh’s 2026 payroll sits around $105M, a potential franchise Opening Day record, underscoring a busy but careful off-season as they balance short-term needs with payroll limits.

Pirates bet on Ozuna with short-term DH upgrade

The Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a one-year, $12 million contract with Marcell Ozuna (pending a physical), adding a right-handed bat to bolster the lineup. Ozuna will earn $10.5 million in 2026 with a $1.5 million buyout on a $16 million mutual option for 2027. The 35-year-old had a down 2025 season (.232/.355/.400, 21 HR) hampered by a hip injury and declining bat speed, but Pittsburgh hopes he can produce as a designated hitter. The move pushes payroll to about $105 million, reshapes the lineup with Ozuna, O’Hearn, Lowe and Horwitz, and effectively ends Andrew McCutchen’s Pirates tenure while boosting odds for a wild-card push.
