The Miami Marlins were in need of a manager after parting with Don Mattingly on September 25. On October 25, they found their man.
Skip Schumaker will manage the Marlins in 2023. The former Cardinals, Dodgers and Reds utility player has been coaching since 2018, when the Padres had him coaching first base. First base is said to have really grown under Schumaker’s tutelage, and it seems that this will be visible in 2023.
It has been pointed out that one of Schumaker’s baseball cards once depicted a squirrel alongside his foot, so yes, history was certainly made on Tuesday.
