Lewdog Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Unbelievably After months ago trading with the White Sox to get Ozzie Guillen to come coach the Marlins. Well it's the end of the season and Ozzie is his-to-ry.

They still owe Guillen $7.5 million for the three years remaining on his contract. The franchise was supposedly transformed by a spending spree last offseason and the move into a new ballpark, and the Marlins expected to contend for a playoff berth. But a dismal June took them out of contention for good. The season went sour from the start when Guillen's comments praising former Cuban leader Castro in a magazine interview angered Cuban Americans, who make up a large segment of the Marlins' fan base.
