Alex Fernandez volunteered to pitch for the Marlins, torn rotator cuff and all.

Was he serious?

“Completely,” Fernandez said.

And Leyland said no?

“Yes, 100%, no.”

And the pitcher understood why?

“Yes, 100%.”

Fernandez is out, possibly through 1998 as well. He said Leyland’s viewpoint was, “As big as this moment is, it’s not worth my career.”
