Future Hall of Famer.....John Smoltz........was fired today by the Boston Redsox .......
In baseball terms.....he was "designated for assignment ".......meaning Boston has ten days to either trade him........or outright release him.
In real life "regular guy" terms........he .....was given his walking papers....Your services are no longer needed. The company is moving in a different direction.
This comes on the heels of Smoltz getting rocked by the N Y Yankees last night.
Red Sox designate John Smoltz for assignment
Smoltz went 3 1/3 innings.......allowing 8 runs on 9 hits.....At 42 years of age.......his career could be over.But..........remember the movie with Richard Pryor? Brewster's Millions? Pryor's character was a pitcher.....who could only pitch.....an inning.....one inning.
This is where John Smoltz finds himself today. A 42 year old arm.......that can only give you one.......maybe two innings.
Hello? Atlanta Braves?.......Bring Smoltz back.....for bullpen help. He will cost you ...nothing. Boston is paying his $5 million this year.
Today, Smoltz flew back to his Atlanta home to weigh his options.......
Getting fired........is ........a helluva thing.
