Report: Marlins owner 'can't stand' Ozuna

Marcell Ozuna isn't in the good graces of Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, and it could send him packing.

Multiple teams have approached the Marlins about the 25-year-old outfielder, reports Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.

Crasnick writes that Miami wants a young, big-league ready starter in return for Ozuna.

"I'd be surprised if they keep him," an executive told Crasnick. "Loria clearly can't stand the guy and everybody knows it."

After he was demoted to the minors in 2015, Ozuna's stock dropped, and rumors surfaced that Loria wanted him out after agent Scott Boras claimed his client was demoted for reasons not related to his performance.

President of baseball operations Michael Hill insisted in early-November that the club wasn't interested in trading Ozuna, but he may have just been trying to put out a fire.

Ozuna hit .259/.308/.383 with 10 home runs and 44 RBIs in 2015, one season after posting a .269/.317/.455 hitting line with 23 home runs and 85 RBIs.
