Miami Marlins general manager Dan Jennings is the team’s new manager.
He succeeds Mike Redmond and was introduced at a news conference Monday. Redmond was fired Sunday after the Marlins were nearly no-hit in a 6-0 loss to Atlanta that completed a three-game sweep.
The defeat dropped Miami to 16-22. Bench coach Rob Leary was fired along with Redmond.
Jennings was in his second season as general manager, and has been with the Marlins on the personnel side since 2002. He briefly coached in high school in Mobile, Alabama, in the 1980s.
The Marlins’ shake-up was the latest orchestrated by owner Jeffrey Loria, reinforcing his reputation for impatience with managers.
