Some experiments just don’t work. New Coke, Herman Cain’s presidential campaign, David Hasselhoff’s music career, Magic Johnson as a talk show host. Apparently, Dan Jennings as manager of the Miami Marlins was doomed to fall under that category as well.
On Tuesday, the Marlins officially pulled the plug on Jennings as their skipper, announcing that the 55-year-old would not be returning to their dugout in 2016, according to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com. Jennings also serves as the general manager of the club and was asked to continue in that role, but it is unclear at this point if he will accept.
