Miguel Olivo Walked Out on the Marlins Because They Refused to Release Him
By Tim Ryan
“I told them I wanted to be released and they wouldn’t give it to me,” said Olivo. “I don’t understand why they don’t release me. I told them I wanted to be released because I have 30 days of not playing. I need to play … If I’m not doing nothing, I don’t understand why they keep me doing nothing.”
The Marlins are beyond terrible and Olivo is a 34 year old catcher who adds nothing, so my only guess is that the hopeless franchise is keeping him solely out of sheer boredom for shits and giggles. It’s like playing a cruel game of keep away from a helpess toddler.
