Jeffrey Loria says Miami Marlins were 'lifeless' under Mike Redmond

After being absent from Dan Jennings introductory press conference as manager yesterday, Jeffrey Loria finally spoke out as to why he fired Mike Redmond.

The last 48 hours have been a whirlwind for the Miami Marlins. After the Marlins lost for the sixth time in the last seven games on Sunday, dropping their record to 16-22, Mike Redmond was dismissed from the team. This move was followed by various reports of possible replacements, which ranged from long-time manager Dusty Baker to current Marlins analyst/ Special assistant to the President Jeff Conine.

Ultimately, news broke early Monday morning that General Manager Dan Jennings would take over the vacant manger position for the Marlins.
