The move to make Dan Jennings the Marlins' new manager is a temporizing measure designed to avoid another controversial firing when the Marlins eventually find their permanent fix next season.
Dan Jennings, the man who only yesterday was serving as the Marlins' general manager, will now be its next regular manager. The Marlins decided to move Jennings to the dugout, replacing him in the front office with assistant GM Mike Burger. The Fish also moved Mike Goff into the dugout to serve as the team's bench coach, with the rest of the current staff remaining intact.
