Joe Capozzi from the Palm Beach Post is reporting that Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria wanted to fire manager Fredi Gonzalez and replace him with Bobby Valentine as early as June.

According to Capozzi, Loria was in favor of this move after the Marlins went 9-20 in May, and that Valentine confirmed the offer was actually made.
