League Shake Up Day
Phoenix Manager Bernie Embry was fired after a 1 ½ years. Last year he went 60 – 102
San Francisco Nolan Meredith was fired from San Francisco after one year. He went 85-77, but missed the playoff’s down the stretch. Nolan was previously the Mallards bench coach and manager for a year.
Indianapolis let go GM Orlando Cano after four years and no playoff appearances
Fresno let go manager Roman Ortiz after going 91-71, but finishing second in the division. Ortiz is a manager that will be in demand; he will certainly float to the top of many lists including ours. To top it off, he was the Mallard Pitching Coach for 10 years during which they made the playoff’s 5 times and won the World Series.
