Morosi adds that the Blue Jays have outfielder George Springer ahead of Ozuna on their preferred free-agent targets this off-season. The Jays have been linked to several players throughout the off-season to improve the outfield including Springer, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Michael Brantley.

In 60 games with the Atlanta Braves last season, Ozuna slashed .338/.431/.636 with 18 home runs and 56 RBIs to go along with a 1.067 OPS.
