Let us remember that Marcell Ozuna was suspended by MLB for domestic violence. At that time, he was charged with aggravated assault strangulation, a felony that carries a minimum of one year and a maximum of 20 years in prison, and misdemeanor battery, family violence, records show.
During his initial appearance in Fulton County Magistrates Court, Ozuna was ordered to have no contact with his wife.
In court, lawyers said the couple was in the process of divorcing. Genesis Ozuna was arrested on a domestic violence charge in Miami a year ago.
Ozuna re-signed with Atlanta after a stellar first season with the Braves in 2020, agreeing to a four-year, $65 million deal. He hit .338, led the NL with 18 home runs and 56 RBIs, and finished sixth in NL MVP voting.
