Outfielder Marcell Ozuna, one of the biggest remaining MLB free agents, reportedly has made it clear where he wants to play.

According to Neftali Ruiz of CDN 37 in the Dominican Republic (h/t Z101 MLB Insider Hector Gomez), Ozuna said he's hoping he can work out a new deal to stay in St. Louis. Ozuna said the Cardinals and Texas Rangers are still in the driver's seat for his services but he'd prefer to remain in Missouri.

"St. Louis is on the hunt. We will see which one of the two [it] will be [Cardinals or Rangers]," Ozuna said per Gomez' translation.
