00:00Marlins set to sign, Braves power-hitting free agent.

00:04The Miami Marlins offseason has been anything but headline-grabbing.

00:08While others chase blockbuster signings and seismic trades, South Florida has stayed quiet.

00:14Beyond the under-the-radar addition of Christopher Murrell at first base,

00:17it's patience over splash, whether strategic restraint or indecisiveness.

00:22At the center is Peter Bendix, Miami's president of baseball operations,

00:26balancing future promise with immediate need.

00:29Questions are swirling. What's the budget?

00:32Who's available on the trade block, especially on the pitching side?

00:36The Marlins' most valuable currency right now is pitching depth, yet they've made no moves,

00:40despite rumors around Jesus Luzardo and Edward Cabrera.

00:43It's been all smoke, no fire.

00:46Free agency remains a potential pivot point, and one familiar name has surfaced, Marcel Ozuna.

00:52According to reports, the veteran slugger could be a target for a possible reunion in Miami.

00:57It's a storyline that practically writes itself.

01:00A former all-star and fan favorite from 2013 to 2017 returning to mentor the next generation.

01:08Ozuna's 2025 season numbers, 232-355-400 with 21 homers and 68 RBIs,

01:16don't leap off the page, but context matters.

01:19A nagging hip injury in April visibly hampered his performance, yet he chose to play through the discomfort.

01:25Now the question looms.

01:27Is this the beginning of a decline, or does Ozuna still have gas left in the tank?

01:32At 35, Ozuna isn't a rebuild centerpiece, but SpotTrack projects his value at a reasonable $27.4 million over two years,

01:42making him an appealing designated hitter option for teams like Miami that need power and credibility.

01:47There's added irony in a potential reunion, as the Marlins still benefit from the original Ozuna trade through Sandy Alcantara,

01:55and bringing him back would complete a full-circle moment for a young team on the edge of contention.

02:00With a quiet offseason so far, signing Ozuna could reshape the Marlins' identity without straining the budget.
