the Marlins road jersey would no longer bear the name "Florida" on the front. Also the "F" marlin sleeve patch would no longer be on the jersey. On January 12, 2010, as part of an agreement between Major League Baseball and the players' union, the Marlins agreed to increase payroll in line with the money it receives each year from revenue sharing. It could have meant that the Marlins would be more inclined to hang on to All-Star second baseman Dan Uggla rather than trade him as they had been trying to do for several months. A few days after agreeing with MLB to increase payroll, the Marlins signed their ace right-hander, Josh Johnson to a four-year deal worth $39 million, the second biggest contract ever for a pitcher heading into his second salary arbitration year. The only bigger deal was signed by Johan Santana, then of the NY Mets, for $40 million over four years. The deal locked up the team's pitching ace beyond the opening of the new stadium in 2012, along with Hanley Ramírez. Not too long after the deal, the Marlins avoided arbitration with all-star second baseman Dan Uggla by signing a one-year, $7.8 million deal which was the third-highest single season total in franchise history behind Iván Rodríguez's $10 million in 2003 and Gary Sheffield's $14.9 million in 1998. Coming out of spring training, there were playoff aspirations for the Marlins, which had held the same nucleus since 2006 despite the fact they had the National League's third-lowest payroll. Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria expressed high hopes saying, "I expect us to make the playoffs, we've got all the ammunition we need." However, those aspirations proved to be misplaced, as little went right in Miami. In mid-May, Hanley Ramírez was suspended for a game by manager Fredi González for not hustling towards a fly ball which cost the team runs and a loss. Nearly two weeks later, Roy Halladay threw a perfect game against Florida, which was the first one thrown against the Marlins in franchise history. On June 23, with the team sitting at 34-36 along with having a shaky bullpen and inconsistent situational hitting and bench, Loria decided to fire Fredi González along with bench coach Carlos Tosca and hitting coach Jim Presley on June 23. At the time of his dismissal, González's record for the season was 32–34. Edwin Rodriguez was promoted from
