Has any offseason in MLB history been as much of a disaster as the 2012 Marlins? Spend ungodly amounts of $ while trying to look like a major player, dump everyone in under a year, paying a lot of $ to guys no longer on the roster, and firing your coach with 7.5M left on the deal. As someone who lived in Miami during school, HAHAHAHAHA

#marlins say they begin search immediately. Ozzie has $7.5M to go over 3 yrs, so miami took a hit there

They may have a bought clause in there, so he may not be getting that much. But I think they have in the contract that when they fire him, he can't get another Manager job for how every long they pay him.......which works great for all Major League fans, since your team will not be able to add him as their next manager :lol:

It's sort of hard to feel for the guy - he's a ****** who who has things coming from both sides of his mouth.

I was gonna say the same thing. What good came from this year for them other than another year of confirmation that Stanton is as certified beast?

May as well trade JJ, Reyes, LTP & Nolasco. No need for useful players anymore ...

Hearing Jim Riggleman, Craig Counsell, and Jeff Conine will be the first people interviewed.

He should never be able to manage again in the big leagues since he walked out on the Nats and that is how Davey Johnson came along. But it was a bleesing for the Nats though.

Don't forget sending two players for Ozzie only to use him for a season. Imagine if one of the two end up being big or key for the White Sox.

This says more about Marlins management and ownership than it does Ozzie.

The Marlins gambled on getting Pujols last year and lost. Now they are addressing those consequences.
