Miami Marlins considered Ozzie Guillen reunion
Guillen was an option once Mike Redmond was dismissed.He is still on the payroll and the Marlins were close to giving him another opportunity. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Marlins considered bringing Ozzie Guillen back to manage the club after Mike Redmond was dismissed.
Yes, if you can believe it, they also debated the idea of bringing back Ozzie Guillen, who was fired by these same Marlins after the 2012 season, and is still being paid $2.5 million. Yet, fearing a backlash from corporate sponsors about Guillen's comments praising Fidel Castro that got him axed in the first place, that was squashed too.
