Back! Back!” calls from ESPN’s Chris Berman. The New York Yankees’ Robinson Cano won the derby last year, hitting a final-round record 12 [...]
Ozzie Guillen says the darnedest things on “The Franchise”
[youtube WWjmh6SOAr0] When you hire outspoken manager Ozzie Guillen, you already kind of know what to expect. But few could’ve expected that Guillen would end up suspended for five games the first week of the season with his new team.

Showtime announced in the offseason that the Marlins would be filmed for Season 2 of The Franchise documentary series. We knew at that time that Guillen would make for some good TV, [...]
