Hanley Ramirez was enraged in the clubhouse on Thursday after the Marlins asked their players to wear short hair and stop wearing jewelry on the field.

"I want to be traded," Ramirez said in frustration, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

"We want to look professional," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Nice and neat."

"I'm slightly numb," Marlins owner Jeffery Loria said after the vote. "I just feel good for everybody involved. It's not about me. It's about what we do. I'm thrilled for everybody."

When the new stadium with a retractable roof opens, the team will be renamed the Miami Marlins.
