On Tuesday afternoon, Miami Marlins President of Baseball Operations Michael Hill and Team President David Samson sat down with a room full of press members in trying to wrap the season up. The following is what we learned from said wrap up.
First and foremost we have semi-confirmation on the status of Dan Jennings next season. He will be stepping down from the manager role and moving back to the front office. Samson was adamant that the title of GM was his alone. There may be a case of double speak at play here. I believe Samson when he says that Dan Jennings will hold the official title; however, when it comes to the actual duties of a true General Manager, basically being the lead decision maker, I’m skeptical.
