Tony Bernazard Fired by the New York Mets

Last week, it was revealed that New York Mets executive Tony Bernazard unleashed a tirade aimed at a minor league team. Today, Tony Bernazard’s reign of terror came to an end when Mets general manager Omar Minaya fired him.

Bernazard’s tirade aimed at the minor league team in which he reportedly took off his shirt was only one of the items that apparently led to his exit. His other incidents include a verbal confrontation with closer Francisco Rodriguez, a tirade due to the fact that a seat he wanted was being used by a scout and rumors that he was the one who orchestrated Willie Randolph getting fired.

Bernazard had been with the Mets since 2004. Prior to landing with the Mets, he worked with the MLBPA.

The Mets struggles probably aren’t helping matters. Currently 46-51, New York is 10.5 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies. Most of the team’s problems have been due to an unusually high amount of injuries.
