The Miami Marlins have hired Clayton McCullough, former first base coach of the Los Angeles Dodgers, as their new manager, succeeding Skip Schumaker. McCullough, with experience in the Toronto Blue Jays' minor league system, is tasked with revitalizing a team that ended the 2024 season with a disappointing 62-100 record. His hiring marks a strategic shift towards building a future-focused team under the leadership of new President of Baseball Operations, Pete Bendix. Alongside McCullough, the Marlins have also appointed Pedro Guerrero, former San Francisco Giants hitting coach, as their hitting coach. The Marlins are looking to improve their offensive performance, having ranked near the bottom in OPS last season. Both McCullough and Guerrero have previous ties with Gabe Kapler, now Miami's assistant general manager, adding a layer of familiarity to the new management team.
