MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Derek Jeter’s ownership group took control of the Miami Marlins on September 27th, and his two months in charge have already been filled with surprise layoffs and bad PR (the kind that comes with shopping your star player).
This latest story is easily the most cringe-worthy to date.
According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, the Marlins let go of a long time scout while he was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery. This scout is also in need of a kidney transplant. Now, he’s out of a job.
Marty Scott, who joined the Marlins as a vice president in 2011 and in recent years had worked as a scout, said he was told his contract would not be renewed Oct.
