Marlins hiring Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough as their new manager

The Dodgers’ World Series-winning coaching staff won’t remain entirely intact next season.

On Sunday, the Miami Marlins hired Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough to be their new manager, as ESPN first reported, creating the first opening on the Dodgers’ coaching staff in two seasons.

A 44-year-old former minor-league catcher, McCullough had spent the last 10 years in the Dodgers organization. He’d been first base coach since 2021. He was minor league field coordinator before that.

The target of several job openings around MLB in recent offseasons, McCullough finally landed his first managerial gig with the Marlins, who are replacing 2023 National League manager of the year Skip Schumaker after his contract expired at the end of a 100-loss season in 2024.
