An ESPN report claims Bobby Valentine is in talks with the Florida Marlins.
At a time when Bobby Valentine has begun the process of talking with teams about a possible return as a manager in Major League Baseball, sources said he is in communication with the Florida Marlins about a possible position with that team -- less than eight months after Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez received a two-year extension.
Personally, I hope this happens. Because if the Marlins drop Fredi Gonzalez eight months after a two-year extension, it makes Drayton & Ed look like Father Time.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
