RT @BoogSciambi: Redmond’s career stalled in minors, Marlins asked him to be player coach in ’98. He declined, got called up that year.. …
The @Marlins have made a great choice by hiring Mike Redmond as their new manager. Absolutely best decision for the franchise at this time.
Marlins pitcher Mark Buehrle has won a Gold Glove award for the 4th consecutive year. Buehrle becomes the 5th Marlin to win a Gold Glove, joining Charles Johnson (1995, 1996, 1997), Luis Castillo (2003, 2004, 2005), Derrek Lee (2003) and Mike Lowell (2005)
For those needing translation of Ozzie’s tweets, here it is: “blah, blah, blah, $7,500,000”
As we say goodbye to another manger, let’s salute Ozzie Guillen and the family the same way they want to be saluted…
The Marlins have fired Ozzie Guillen. Would be interesting to learn if this was a Loria decision or a Front Office decision.
Details to follow…

Heath Bell is Arizona’s problem now.
The Marlins have traded their frustrating reliever to Arizona as part of a 3-team trade with Oakland. In exchange for Bell, the Marlins receive minor league third baseman Yordy Cabrera from the Athletics. As part of the trade, Arizona also acquired infielder Cliff Pennington from Oakland for outfielder Chris Young.
Bell will not be missed.
