Marlins, Schumaker Mutually Part Ways

The Miami Marlins and manager Skip Schumaker have mutually agreed to part ways after two seasons. Schumaker, who led the team to a surprise playoff appearance in 2023 and earned National League Manager of the Year honors, will not return for the 2025 season. The decision follows significant changes within the Marlins' front office and a disappointing 2024 season, which saw the team finish 60-100. Schumaker's contract was amended last winter to remove a club option for 2025, allowing him to explore other managerial opportunities. He is expected to be a top candidate for vacancies with the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox. Schumaker left the team before the final two games of the season to address a family issue.
