With Dan Jennings stepping down as acting manager of the Miami Marlins at the end of the season, the Marlins have gone into full search mode for their next manager.
According to John Heyman of CBS Sports, the Marlins sat down and interviewed Braves third base coach and former Houston Astros manager Bo Porter and former Indians manager Manny Acta for the managerial job.
Bo Porter was only a Major League manager with two heavily rebuilding Houston Astros squad. The two seasons in Houston are not indicative of Porter’s managerial talent as he never fielded a team of performing players as Houston was more concerned with developing their minor league talent than having a competitive major league team.
