"Last week, Bruce (Sherman) and I discussed his plan to reshape the Baseball Operations department. In our discussions, it became apparent that we were not completely aligned on what that should look like and I felt it best to step away. I wish to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Marlins family and its fans for my time in South Florida. This year was a great step forward for the organization, and I will miss working with Skip and his coaches as well as all of the dedicated staff in baseball operations and throughout the front office. They are a very talented group and I wish them great success in the future."

His vision is definitely "we need to spend less"

The only way to get the amount of money required to own a baseball team is to be a cheap gently caress who squeezes every last dollar out of companies.

If it is any consolation to us today, miserly owners loving their team has been a part of baseball for as long as we've had professional leagues.

I *think* the POBO thing came about as a way of de facto firing her (because obviously she'll resign) after she wouldn't shut up about needing to spend more money.

lmao what the gently caress? Did they think their GM would just meekly accept an obvious demotion after year where the Marlins got to the playoffs?

Legitimately it is the one thing that gives me pause about a potential Ross firing. Girardi would be a painfully poor choice of manager for this current Cubs group.

That they fired Ng because they wanted to hire a PBO over her sounds like they already know who they want.
