Miami Marlins select Skip Schumaker as next manager: report

Skip Schumaker has been hired as the new manager of the Miami Marlins, according to The Associated Press, citing a source with knowledge of negotiations.

Skip Schumaker has been chosen to lead the Miami Marlins as the team's new manager, according to a report from The Associated Press.

Shumaker, 42, will become the franchise's 16th manager. He joins the Marlins after most recently serving as the bench coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. From 2018-2021, Shumaker spent time with the Padres as a first base coach and associate manager.

The Marlins parted ways with Don Mattingly last month after seven seasons.
