Cubs’ Zambrano--clearly insane--apologizes for remarks
CINCINNATI (AP)—Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano has apologized to closer Carlos Marmol for second-guessing how he pitched in Chicago’s most recent loss.
Zambrano criticized Marmol’s approach after a 3-2 loss Sunday at St. Louis. He said Marmol should have thrown Ryan Theriot a fastball rather than a slider, which the former Cubs player hit for a tying double in the ninth inning. Albert Pujols won it with a homer in the 10th.
Zambrano said before Monday night’s game at Cincinnati that he was wrong to criticize Marmol that way. He said he made the remarks out of frustration. Manager Mike Quade also talked to Zambrano and said he won’t be fined.

I like the pronoun-antecedent ambiguity here in the last sentence.
Although I have no doubt it means "Manager Mike Quade also talked to Zambrano and said [Zambrano] won't be fired."
I prefer that it reads "Manager Mike Quade also talked to Zambrano and said [Quade] won't be fired."
