The Miami Marlins are trending downward and don’t even possess a true manager, but the show must go on and the team now welcomes the Arizona Diamondbacks into town for the first of a four-game set tonight at Marlins Park.
Both clubs are reeling and suffering through losing streaks, but the Marlins have all but imploded less than two months into the 2015 season. Manager Mike Redmond, after signing an extension to remain skipper of the Fish through 2017 this offseason, was let go on Sunday following the series sweep by the Atlanta Braves, and now Jeffrey Loria has inexplicably appointed former general manager Dan Jennings as Redmond’s replacement.
