Marlins Narrow Managerial Search to Two Candidates

Cleveland Guardians bench coach Craig Albernaz and Texas Rangers associate manager Will Venable have emerged as the finalists for the Miami Marlins managerial position, following a thorough search that included over ten candidates. Both coaches are set for in-person interviews with Marlins officials this week, as the team looks to replace their current manager after a disappointing season. Albernaz, recognized for his successful stint with the Guardians and prior coaching roles, has strong ties to the Marlins organization, which enhances his candidacy. Venable, known for his coaching experience with the Cubs and Red Sox, is considered a highly sought-after candidate and could also be in contention for the Chicago White Sox managerial job. The White Sox have narrowed their list to three finalists, including Venable, highlighting the competitive nature of the current managerial searches within MLB. As the offseason progresses, both candidates are key figures to watch in the coaching landscape.
