Marlins Hire Mike Redmond

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | November 1, 2012 at 10:31am CDT

The Marlins hired Mike Redmond to be their next manager, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (Twitter links). Redmond, a former MLB catcher, spent seven years of his playing career with the Marlins. The 41-year-old obtains a three-year deal to replace Ozzie Guillen in Miami as the Marlins look to rebound from a disappointing 2012 season.

Redmond managed the Dunedin Blue Jays of the Florida State League from 2011-12. The team finished 77-60 in 2011 and went 78-55 this past season. Redmond's 13-year playing career ended just two years ago, in 2010. He played for the Marlins, Twins and Indians, and was Ivan Rodriguez's backup on the 2003 Marlins team that won the World Series. As Jeff Passan explained last year, Redmond has some unconventional methods for breaking out of slumps.

Former player and manager Larry Bowa and Reds pitching coach Bryan Price were also candidates for the position. The Blue Jays and Rockies are now the only teams seeking managers.

    “He couldn’t hit. He couldn’t throw. He couldn’t catch. But I know one thing. He was put on this earth to be a manager.” – Kevin Millar

        Certainly does. Didn’t like him much when he played against us (he did fairly well against the Yankees), but he’s got to be awesome to be around.

    Congrats to Red.
    He was a great back up catcher and I always liked him..
    and his domination of Tom Glavine was remarkable.
    but we’ll try to kick your butt hard, Red.

    Big fan of the hire. Redmond was a knowledgeable clubhouse presence in the Wes Helms mold. Less money, lesser commitment, less pressure — all good.

    When does he get fired by Jeffy Loria?

      Surely not after naked BP

    The Marlins’ problems begin and end with Loria.

      Agreed. He is a terrible owner. Probably not Frank McCourt bad, but man. It’s a shame too because Miami has some nice guys you’d like to see do well.

    If he ends up fired, Loria has an addiction to fire managers

      Then he will get fired by the owner.

    Red Dog was notorious for keeing the clubhouse morale high in MN by walking around naked. Not sure how that will translate into a manager position–just saying.
