Marlins Manager Ozzie Guillen Set To Address Comments About Castro

Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen today will hold a press conference at Marlins Park at 10:30am ET to "address comments in a recent Time magazine article concerning Cuban dictator Fidel Castro" (MIAMI HERALD, 4/10). Cuban exile group Vigilia Mambisa "has called for a protest" today, as Guillen's comments have "outraged many within Miami's Cuban exile community" (MIAMI HERALD, 4/10). Miami-Dade Board of Commissioners Chair Joe Martinez has called on Marlins Owner Jeffrey Loria "to urge Guillen to resign" (South Florida SUN-SENTINEL, 4/10).

FOXSPORTS.com's Ken Rosenthal writes the Marlins should suspend Guillen. Rosenthal: "A one-month suspension would send a powerful message." The PALM BEACH POST's Joe Capozzi writes the timing of Guillen's comments to Time "could not be worse for the Marlins" as they rebrand themselves in South Florida. The MIAMI HERALD's Beasley & Mazzei write this marks the "latest in a string of recent public relations stumbles" for the team.
