Marcell Ozuna struggles will likely delay extension talks

Ozuna turned down an extension before the start of the 2015 season.

Miami's outfield has been considered one of the best in all of baseball and Marcell Ozuna has a lot to do with that. Over his first two major league seasons, Ozuna has proven he has power and can have success anywhere in the lineup. But he has slowed down a bit in 2015.

Before the start of the season, the Marlins' priority was extending members of their young core, and while Christian Yelich received an extension, Adeiny Hechavarria, Ozuna, and Jose Fernandez were not successfully locked up.
