It happens. I think Lou Pinella was traded to Tampa for Rady Winn - a half decent outfielder at the time - heading back to Seattle.
In Guillen's case:
http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story...quest-released
The Chicago White Sox have accepted manager Ozzie Guillen's request to be released from his contract.
Guillen will accept a managerial job with the Florida Marlins, according to a source close to the situation.
Guillen's contract was set to expire after the 2012 season. About a month ago he said he wouldn't return for the final year of his contract unless he gets an extension.
Should Guillen take a managerial job with a different organization in 2012, the White Sox retain the right to be compensated. In order to fulfill that right, the Marlins will send two minor leaguers to Chicago, the source said.
