2. Miami Marlins fire manager Ozzie Guillen after one season

<snip>

"Ozzie Guillen is one and done.

The Miami Marlins fired Guillen on Tuesday after just one season. President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said the team would now begin a search for what will be the eighth manager in Jeffrey Loria’s 12 seasons as team owner. The Marlins will have their fourth different Opening Day manager in four years at the start of the 2013 season.

Guillen’s Marlins went just 69-93, good for a second straight last-place finish in the National League East.

The Marlins signed Guillen last fall to a four-year, $10 million contract. They will be responsible for the remainder of that deal, or $7.5 million over the next three years. As a result, the Marlins likely will turn to a younger and, therefore, less expensive manager to replace Guillen."
