MIAMI (CBSMiami)- These are strange times for anyone associated with the Miami Marlins.
The team has already traded away fan-favorites like Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, Dee Gordon and Marcell Ozuna.
Now, they've reportedly fired Billy the Marlin!
Well... to be clear... they aren't getting rid of the Billy character, but the guy in the suit. Even so, it sounds cold-blooded.
The move is first reported by Craig Mish of Sirius XM:
Source : The Marlins have terminated the man inside the suit of Billy the Marlin. Marlins spokesman says Billy himself has not been fired. He will remain Marlins Mascot, played by someone else.
