MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins have parted ways with Skip Schumaker, ending the 2023 NL Manager of the Year's two-season stint with the team.
The Marlins went 146-178 under Schumaker, who was hired in 2022 as the franchise's 16th manager. His contract was for two years with a club option for the 2025 season, which the team voided earlier this year.
“It has been a tremendous honor serving as manager of the Miami Marlins. I’ve built long-lasting friendships with the staff and players and am proud of all that we accomplished together," he said.
In his first season, Schumaker led the Marlins to their first playoff appearance in a non-pandemic year since 2003. They made the postseason despite a minus-57 run differential and eventually were swept by the Phillies in their NL wild-card series.
