|  #1 Posted on 27.9.11 1216.27 | Instant Rating: 5.36 | On Monday night Ozzie Guillen was "released from his contract" as the manager of the White Sox.
However, a post on his blog that was pulled may have confirmed his next job a little too quickly. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/cbsports-guillens-blog-jumps-the-gun-20110926,0,2121034.story
Apparently Ozzie will be named manager of the Marlins, with the White Sox getting a couple minor leaguers in return for letting him out of his deal.

That's what I don't get. Ozzie is as outspoken as anyone, and that's not the kind of manager Loria/the Marlins generally look for. Then again, if you're in with Loria, you're in; after all, Jack McKeon is more like Ozzie than the yes-men the Marlins have preferred, and Loria loves him..
I think this is the first piece in a busy offseason puzzle for the Marlins. For the first time in several years, I think I'm going to enjoy being a Marlins fan this Winter.

Whether he leaves on bad terms or not, Ozzie will forever be a legend for bringing a World Series championship to Chicago.
