This is obviously conditional and depends on whether or not Castillo or JBJ are dealt.
Ozuna has a second half ISO of .226, one of the league's highest FB/LD velocities, and is 24 so has upside to tap into. He's a solid CF and should be great at either corner. He's having an off season on both offense and defense, but I think he'd be a 3 WAR COF here.
His trade value probably has never been lower since he was called up, though his control and cheapness is valuable without question. Price could get too high, but I think he's a potential buy low candidate.

Endorse. His bad first half was a whole lot of bad luck. Obviously isn't a great fit on this team right now, but if a team with pitching loved Bradley, and Ozuna was available at a decent price, I wouldn't hesitate to make a couple of trades.

Adding this here because of its relevance.

Just bumping this because I think a Miley for Ozuna deal would be good for both sides.
I prefer to just let Miley be the 5th starter, but if we're going to trade a starter it will probably be Miley.
Ozuna would free up Castillo for trade. Could probably get a solid reliever for Castillo, even if we had to eat a bit of his deal it could be worth it.

So I'd guess it's more Owens/Erod that would make that happen. Ozuna is probably closer to what JBJ is worth because of the tantalizing upside along with notable downside risk.

I'd be interested in Ozuna, but only if we get rid of Castillo. I'm not sure that I'd want a Castillo/Ozuna/Betts main OF. Ozuna/JBJ/Betts with Young as the 4th sounds much better.
I'm also not sure if I'd give up Owens or JBJ for Ozuna. Definitely not ERod. Maybe Brian Johnson if they want a pitcher.
Then again, Loria seems allergic to paying money to his players and also has a reputation for caring more about money than a winning team, so if there's anyone DD can "beat" in a trade, by player quality standards, it might be Loria. Not to mention that Ozuna might not have lower value due to his relationship with Loria, so a team might be able to swoop in and get him for pennies on the dollar. Even if we didn't need him, we could buy low and him and then flip him or a comparable piece (Rusney for example) for more than what we paid for Ozuna.
Ideally, I'd get Ozuna for Rusney (paying up to half of his salary) and Brian Johnson, but I could see trading Barnes, Kelly, or Kopech depending on what the Marlins ask for and whether or not we can get rid of Castillo.
Then again, there are obvious reasons why I'll never be a team's GM.

Johnson and Castillo would be fine by me. I don't think that's enough though.
