The Miami Marlins are expected to name current GM Dan Jennings as the team’s new manager, according to a report from CBS Sports.
The official announcement is expected to happen at a press conference set for 11:00 a.m. at Marlins Park.
Mike Redmond was relieved of his managing duties moments after last night’s 6-0 loss — and two hit disaster — to the Braves, their seventh loss in the last 10 games. Miami was expected to contend this season but a plethora of bullpen disasters have contributed to a 16-22 start, which ranks fourth in the NL East.
An initial report surfaced late Sunday night that Jeff Conine would succeed Redmond.
