Yes, Jennings was signed to be the GM. But he enjoyed managing and reportedly lost a notable amount of power.
It is now official. Dan Jennings will not return as manager of the Miami Marlins in 2016.
We already knew that much. Since the Marlins dismissed Mike Redmond and Jennings was asked to take over, it was pretty clear Jennings, even though he lacked the "interim tag," he would only be in the dugout through the end of the season.
Miami is seeking a veteran manager, and even though Jennings now does have major league managerial experience under his belt, the Marlins have other names in mind.
