Cutting the payroll to the Marlins new ownership’s desired level has appeared to turn two of the most talented players remaining against them.

Outfielder Christian Yelich became the latest young star to express unhappiness with co-owner Derek Jeter’s organization, according to an ESPN report Monday, after the 26-year-old watched three of his former teammates get traded away in the past two weeks.

Yelich, who reportedly had been looking forward to chasing a championship with the Marlins roster of 2017, has been doubting his future in Miami since the organization dealt his close (and talented) friends — Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees, Dee Gordon to the Mariners and Marcell Ozuna to the Cardinals — as the first steps in their rebuilding process.

Unlike teammate catcher J.T. Realmuto, who directly requested a trade Monday, Yelich hopes to meet with the Marlins’ president of baseball operations, Michael Hill, to hear him out on the team’s future plans before doing the same. Yelich chose to go this route first out of respect for the organization that signed him to a seven-year, $49.6 million contract extension in 2015, ESPN reported.

The Marlins so far have indicated they plan to keep Yelich, though a handful of teams have reached out to them about a potential trade for the .290 career hitter with a team friendly $58.25 million over five seasons left on his deal.

Hill didn’t rule out trading either player, or any on the Marlins’ current roster, but he said those decisions would start at the top.

“We used the last couple of weeks continuing to lay the foundation for building a first-class, winning organization,” Hill said in a statement. “Should we feel like we need to make a trade involving any of our under contract, controllable players, we will be the ones who initiate that conversation and always do what’s best for the organization.”

Yelich and Realmuto, also 26, should both garner keen interest from teams looking for solid two-way players who posted their best numbers the past two seasons. Last season, Yelich hit 18 home runs to go along with 81 RBIs, while Realmuto, in a league with a dearth of quality catchers, recorded 17 homers and 65 RBIs.

The Marlins already have heard from the Diamondbacks, Phillies and Braves on Yelich. Still, the belief is Jeter’s group will achieve its goal of a $90 million payroll to start the 2018 season by shedding other role players, such as pitchers Brad Ziegler, Junichi Tazawa and/or Dan Straily.
