The latest Marlins-related news nuggets and analysis:
- Alex Cora has been re-hired as Red Sox manager, fresh off serving his one-year MLB suspension. James Rowson, who was a candidate for that job, will presumably return to the Marlins for another season as bench coach (though the team hasn’t announced its 2021 coaching staff yet).
- Marlins officials are “intrigued” by the possibility of Rowson being Don Mattingly’s eventual successor, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
- On Friday, multi-billionaire Steve Cohen closed the deal to become the new owner of the Mets, and one of his first orders of business was to clean out the front office.
