“Big Bear” on the prowl. Braves’ Marcell Ozuna heading for another big year

ATLANTA — Marcell Ozuna ignored the chants of “MVP!” MVP! MVP!”

The Atlanta Braves slugger knows better than anyone how fleeting good times can be.

“You have to be on the same level,” Ozuna said, “to not be comfortable.”

Only a year ago, his career was hanging by a thread. The same fans who were cheering for him now booed vigorously every time he took a seat at the plate. It seemed like only a matter of time before he was fired by the Braves.
