Miami Marlins will have 'eclectic group' of managerial candidates

It won't make a ton of sense at first, but the Marlins want to make sure they don't miss anybody.

The group will not make a ton of sense until the final hire is made. Miami is expected to conduct a lengthy search before hiring its next manager, and according to ESPN's Jim Bowden, the Marlins will have an "eclectic group of managerial candidates."

After informing Dan Jennings he would not have an opportunity to manage the team next season, the Marlins quickly started interviewing potential candidates. Larry Bowa, Bo Porter and Manny Acta have all been linked to the job, and the club reportedly interviewed Phil Nevin, who manages Arizona's Triple-A affiliate, last Thursday.
