MIAMI — Ozzie Guillen was named the Marlins’ manager on Wednesday afternoon at Sun Life Stadium. He signed a four-year contract, two days after being released from his deal with the White Sox, which ended an eight-year association with them. Because the White Sox retained their rights to Guillen, they received two prospects — infielder Ozzie Martinez and right-handed reliever [...]

In a freak accident in Pittsburgh, Ricky Nolasco apparently tore his medial meniscus in his right knee. The results of the testing are still being examined, but signs point to shutting down Nolasco for the remainder of the season. The Marlins are not in contention, so they are not in need of having Nolasco out there and wouldn’t want him [...]

In a move that is probably about a month late, Cody Ross is leaving the Marlins. It was inevitable if the Fish couldn’t make an upward climb in the standings and it appears that they are firmly entrenched where they are now. So, you could say it was a classy move to get Cody Ross a chance at the playoffs [...]

That’s right, you know him, you love him – Ronny Paulino. He went and made a bonehead of himself and embarrassed the Fish a bit. He failed a drug test and will now serve a 50 game suspension which means he is out the rest of this season (42 games including tonight’s) and 8 games of next season. Juan C. [...]

Several sources are confirming that Bobby Valentine was interviewed, but that the candidacy of Bobby Valentine for Marlins’ skipper is now over. MLB.com cites philosophical differences, but was unable to state what those differences are. The Sun-Sentinel is reporting that the negotiations have broken down and that Valentine is no longer a candidate, but the article seemed to leave the [...]

There are several sources reporting that the Marlins are interviewing Bobby Valentine today, but the USA Today reports that there is a denial by Valentine that he will be the next manager. Must be in regards to it being a done deal because Tim Reynolds of the AP is reporting there is an interview with Valentine scheduled, but that other [...]

Fredi Gonzalez has 276 on the books, the most of any manager in the brief history of the Marlins. The question is, was he the best manager in Marlins’ history? Clearly, no, but in judging from making the rounds reading the media reaction you would think he was. In fact, all of a sudden, it is being likened to another [...]

Proving to be more than just an answer to a trivia question (Who was the first ever manager in the bigs to be a native from Puerto Rico?), Edwin Rodriguez had the winning touch as the Marlins fought back from a 4-0 deficit to beat the O’s 7-5. It took a home run fest with Gaby Sanchez (8th) and Jorge [...]

The Confusing State of Bobby Valentine: What I Meant to Say…
July 2, 2010 in Coaching Moves, Coaching Staff, Commentary, Roster by jonnylons
You know what makes for a great relationship? Communication. Apparently Jeffrey Loria and the Marlins don’t get that and would lose out on their Valentine: Bobby V, baby, Bobby V. In what has been probably the most convoluted and confusing situation of any managerial hiring process, or hiring process, Bobby Valentine shed some light on the situation. In fact, it [...]
