Ozzie Guillen is under contract through 2012, but he would be a good fit in Miami, if you ask Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The Marlins want a “passionate and fiery” manager, and Guillen certainly qualifies. Here are the rest of Rosenthal’s rumors:
- So far, the Rangers have not engaged GM Jon Daniels in serious discussions about an extension. To be fair, the team is in the midst of a pennant race and may prefer to discuss an extension later. Daniels has maintained that he wants to stay in Texas, though he can leave because of the team’s recent ownership change.
- The Rockies will “almost certainly” want to complement Todd Helton with a right-handed hitting first baseman this offseason. Troy Renck of the Denver Post agrees (Twitter link).
- Padres hitting coach Randy Ready may be a candidate to manage the Diamondbacks if they hire Kevin Towers as their next GM.
Unless Gerry Hunsicker is available for the GM job, I’m pretty confident that JD will remain with the Rangers organization.

I also think that the Rockies are “almost certain” they want Todd Helton to retire.
They signed him to an extension this year…

How can you have a fiery manager when the team’s owner undercuts him like with Girardi?

Whoever takes the AZ job needs to trade that pathetic bum Mark Reynolds.
