That didn't last long for you guys, did it?
As far as them dumping him and eating it, either way Ortiz was getting that money. Dumping him and replacing him with a young pitch that makes the league min (and perform better) was the right thing to do. A smart GM needs to know when to just give up on a player and move on, regardless of their contract status (too bad they didn't hire Josh Byrnes BEFORE signing Ortiz...). They could have put him in the pen but what's the point of doing that?
