Around the Horn (7/2)

It's the first around the horn for July- how is it July already?- and remarkably it was only 50 degrees last night. But enough about the weather.

Contract talks have broken down between the White Sox and Mark Buehrle. A no-trade clause has thrown a monkey wrench into the works.

A.J. Burnett is heading to the 15 day DL once again with shoulder problems. One has to wonder how John Gibbons keeps his job. Burnett has a history of arm problems, yet Gibbons has pushed him well past 100 pitches on several occasions. In his last start prior to his previous trip to the DL he threw 130.

Two more managers are out of jobs. Mariner's skipper Mike Hargrove went on his own accord. Saying he had lost his passion for the game, Hargrove resigned. John McLaren has been named interim manager.

The Reds fired Jerry Narron after a 31-51 start, the worst record in the majors. Pete Mackinin, an advanced scout for the team, has been named interim manager.
