Podcast: The Miami Marlins have their manager. Now, the real work begins
The Miami Marlins accomplished their first key goal of the offseason by hiring St. Louis Cardinals bench coach Skip Schumaker to replace Don Mattingly as their manager.
It will be the first managerial job for the 42-year-old and fast riser through the front office and coaching ranks.
But his hire, while lauded around the industry and by those who know Schumaker personally, is just Step 1 in what should be a very busy Marlins offseason. There is still restructuring happening in the front office, a roster that needs improving and an organizational philosophy that needs to be implemented.
Miami Herald Marlins beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre Fernandez break down all this and more on the latest episode of Fish Bytes.
