Manager Skip Schumaker isn’t the only member of the Miami Marlins staff not returning next season.
The Marlins are in the midst of letting go of more than 70 staff members, with more possible after contracts expire at the end of the month, The Athletic reported Thursday.
Some of the staff could return if newly hired bosses want to bring them back.
Schumaker, who led the Marlins to the playoffs and was the National League Manager of the Year in 2023, left the team last week. It already was expected he wouldn’t return.
Peter Bendix, the president of baseball operations, declined comment to The Athletic, but a club official said the moves weren’t designed to cut costs but rather as a restructuring.
The Marlins began cutting employees in August and already have released several members of the scouting and player development staffs. This week, per The Athletic, 23 people were informed they wouldn’t be back, including Schumaker’s staff, the home clubhouse manager and traveling secretary.
The Marlins finished 62-100 this season.
