Another MLB Manager Domino Falls as Marlins Hire Skip Schumaker

The Chicago White Sox, Kansas Royals, and Miami Marlins were the final three MLB teams with managerial vacancies. That all changed Tuesday afternoon when the Marlins announced the hiring of Skip Schumaker to be their new manager. Schumaker replaces Don Mattingly, who was fired after seven seasons as manager.

Schumaker, a former outfielder and second baseman, played eight of his 11 MLB seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. Schumaker was a member of the 2011 Cardinals that won the World Series.

After his playing days were over in 2016, Schumaker became the first base coach of the San Diego Padres and was promoted to associate manager in 2021. He spent 2022 as the bench coach of the St. Louis Cardinals. This will be the first managerial position Schumaker has held.
