What does the worst record in Major League Baseball get you?

A pink slip, apparently.

That's the news out of Seattle this afternoon as General Manager Bill Bavasi – who has been with the club for five seasons – has been fired from his role with the team. The Mariners, who are the worst team in baseball with a 24-45 record, felt the need to shake things up and decided to go after the designer of a $117 million payroll that was supposed to be a contender in 2008.

Vice president/associate general manager Lee Pelekoudas will take over in Bavasi's place.
