The Marlins fired Dan Jennings as general manager, in a year in which he went from GM to bench manager to fired manager to GM to fired GM.

Heyman also reports that Michael Hill, the team’s president of baseball operations, will assume Jennings’s GM duties. Hill had been the club’s GM from 2008-13.

This is on the same day that word leaked the Marlins reached a deal to bring on Don Mattingly as the manager.

Jennings should count his blessings to be out of that organization. I also wonder why Mattingly thinks things will be different for him. Maybe all those years playing under George Steinbrenner prepared him for this job.

When I saw that Alex Anthopoulos stepped down this morning, I wondered if the Marlins might open the job for him. That doesn’t seem to be the case.
