Sources: #Marlins fire manager Ozzie Guillen.

Bench coach Joey Cora also dismissed by #Marlins, sources say. Guillen owed $7.5M by team.

3B coach Joey Espada and bullpen coach Reid Cornelius only members of Guillen?s staff likely to survive. Developing.

Surprised they are willing to eat that much money.

Well it's kinda hard to be successful in Miami and be Pro-Castro

They can't even fire someone properly. This should have been done three weeks ago.

Didn't the Marlins trade for Guillen too?

Two minor league no ones IIRC.

I'm sure the managerial offers will be rolling in for Ozzie now.

No one outside of a handful of elderly folks in Miami care about Castro. I think he'll land somewhere.

The problem was they brought him in as a marketing ploy only, not as a manager.

They need to find a manager who can get those hired guns to play together. What's Joe Torre doing these days?

What hired guns? They dismantled that team.

I'd say Castro is far from the only issue. I'd be shocked if he got any further ML managerial consideration in the short term. Hard to imagine him in the booth as well. I'm not an Ozzie hater either.
