August 31, 201511 yr Read that Barry Jackson said Baker was released because the front office felt he was spreading negativity and a bad influence on some younger players.
August 31, 201511 yr This would be very disappointing if it's confirmed. Would likely ruin any chance of him playing for another club. However if true he deserves it.
August 31, 201511 yr Makes sense. I can't remember any other player besides him being straight up released without being designated for assignment first.
August 31, 201511 yr So another player will be leaving the team with a negative view of the organization. Ok
August 31, 201511 yr I know how this organization is for a lot of things but I can't condone a player outwardly ragging on things while still part of the organization. I don't know what he specifically said or did but I don't think it was too smart unless he actually wanted out.
August 31, 201511 yr Jokes aside, I think Frisaro knew something when it happened because I was pretty surprised there was no DFA first so I asked Joe why and he never responded. I wish more details were known but I understand why this stuff isn't leaked out more openly. Like I'm still waiting on the Latos details as well.
August 31, 201511 yr All this now after i was thinking about making a get well card relating to his intercostal. Sorry baker, you lost a fan.
August 31, 201511 yr I'm on on the fence about this. The organization is terrible, but it's unprofessional to do what he did. I don't care how terrible the organization is. You don't try and poison a locker room. Nothing to be on the fence about, in my opinion.

You have no idea if he was trying to "poison" the locker room. Talking bad about the organization when it is an absolutely terrible organization from top to bottom is not ideal but put yourself in that position. After playing for a bunch of actual MLB teams and then going to the marlins, you would probably complain as well.
August 31, 201511 yr I'm on on the fence about this. The organization is terrible, but it's unprofessional to do what he did. that mirrors my very important 2 cents on the subject
August 31, 201511 yr Yeah it's not right but if I'm pissed at my boss for things they did I'd probably be real bitchy at work too.
August 31, 201511 yr Amazing that someone like Ichiro [apparently] likes being here, but someone like Baker hates it so much that he gets himself released.
