Skip Schumaker told Marlins players on Friday night that he will not return as manager next season, sources told ESPN.
manager Skip Schumaker will not return to the team in 2025, sources told ESPN, ending his tenure after two seasons and making him among the most coveted free agents this winter.
Schumaker told Marlins players that he would not be back next season following their 15-5 victory against Toronto on Friday night, sources said. He told the players while informing them he would miss the final two games of this season to address a family issue. The 44-year-old Schumaker won National League Manager of the Year last year after leading the Marlins to a surprising postseason berth. When Marlins general manager Kim Ng resigned in October after the team proposed hiring a president of baseball operations over her, Schumaker's contract was restructured, and the team option for 2025 was removed from the deal.
Under new president of baseball operations Peter Bendix, Miami has since initiated a full rebuild and traded a number of integral players from last season's playoff team, including two-time batting champion. While Miami vastly improved its farm system and added major league-ready talent as well, the season was far different from last year's 84-win campaign.
