Marlins May Be Considering A Familiar Face For Coaching Staff

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The MLB Playoffs are still going strong but the Miami Marlins are already looking towards next season.

Shortly after the team’s 2016 campaign ended, Miami fired hitting coach Barry Bonds and third base coach Lenny Harris.

Now the Marlins are already beginning to look for replacements, starting with a familiar face.

Former Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez, who ran the show in Miami from 2007 to 2010, is considering a return to South Florida.

Gonzalez was viewed as a manager on the rise by many around Major League Baseball but Miami owner Jeffrey Loria didn’t see eye-to-eye with Fredi so the two parted ways.
