The Miami Marlins have been a huge disappointment this season, and manager Mike Redmond is on the hot seat as a result.
The Miami Herald’s Clark Spencer reports that Redmond’s job is already in jeopardy following the team’s 3-10 start. Spencer points out that team owner Jeffrey Loria has had an itchy trigger finger with managers in the past, such as when he fired Jeff Torborg in May 2003 and Fredi Gonzalez in June 2010. Redmond is in his third season as Marlins manager and has gone 139-185 over the past two seasons.
Spencer also reports that Loria took note of what Giancarlo Stanton said Friday about the team lacking “fire” and interpreted that to mean that the team might need a kick in the rear, which could be provided by a new manager.
