Now that is something we hardly see happening anymore, trading a player for a Manager, must be the 1890's again. LOL

Yeah, this is the first manager for player trade I've ever heard of.

Was Ozzie Guillen traded to the Marlins?

It's happened before, Randy Wynn was traded for Lou Pinella

I forgot about that.

That's interesting. -Kind of surprised the Jays would let him go. The way things are panning out for the Yanks and Sox, it would seem like the Jays have a great chance to make a run next year. -Of course, there's plenty of competition with the Orioles and Rays.

Or theyre thinking, he wont last that long in Boston, I mean, it is Boston. then a year later. You rehire him and get a relatively good player. for basically one year without the manager.

I think his contract was up in Toronto after the 2013 season anyway, if I'm remembering correctly. Maybe they didn't get a good vibe that he would stay and wanted to try and get something for him while they still could.
