The Miami Marlins got off to a slow 3-11 start to the season. Owner Jeffery Loria quickly looked for a scapegoat and had manager Mike Redmond in his sights. With a recent surge, Redmond survived as the Marlins manager, but the slow start had to be pinned on someone.
On Monday, the team parted ways with catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, designating him for assignment. They have 10 days to release, trade, or reassign him to the minors, but are currently in talks with at least 5 teams about their former free agent prize from a year ago.
