Former Phillies manager Gabe Kapler was promoted within the Miami Marlins organization.
After two years in the club’s front office, Kapler has been named general manager under Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix, the team announced Monday. Kapler had previously served as an assistant GM with an emphasis on player development.
A former 12-year big-league outfielder who won a World Series ring with the Red Sox in 2004, Kapler’s non-playing career started in 2007 when he managed in the minor leagues for one season before returning to competition. After joining the Dodgers front office as director of player development from 2015 to 2017, he managed six seasons in the big leagues with the Phillies (2018-2019) and Giants (2020-2023).
