A Two-Sided Disgrace

This story on the Marlins is a disgrace on all fronts. It's horrible for a player to run his mouth about his own coaching staff, especially when that player hasn't accomplished nearly enough in the game to be afforded such leeway. It's just as horrible for a team to openly sever ties with a player a week before the season ends and a month before free agency begins. What kind of message does that send to season-ticket holders? What kind of message does that send to Dade and Broward County voters who are being asked to foot the bill for yet another new stadium in a market that barely cares about the baseball team in the first place. It's a two-sided disgrace.
