    Marlins Manager Rodriguez Steps Down/Jack McKeon named interim

    Marlins skipper Edwin Rodriguez has resigned, according to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald (via Twitter). Bench coach Brandon Hyde will manage the team this afternoon in Tampa Bay as the club begins its search for an interim manager.

    Rumors have swirled about Rodriguez's job status this season as the Fish have floundered. The Fish have long coveted White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports recently reported that the team was even looking at Bobby Valentine.

    Florida has lost 18 of their last 21 games and earlier this month fired hitting coach John Mallee in an effort to shake things up. The Marlins are at the bottom of the NL East, 12.5 games back of the first place Phillies.

    Rodriguez was hired on a full-time basis in November. The 50-year-old finished 2010 as the club's interim manager after Fredi Gonzalez was fired.
    Stepped down before being fired perhaps? First the ROY was sent down, no the manager steps down. The Marlins are in deep shit and have underperformed big time!! And all of this comes before Javier Vazquez being axed! I have no clue what's going on in Southern Florida anymore but its not pretty. Just hire Bobby V already!

    The Marlins might bring back Jack McKeon (who's 80 years old now)

    Seriously.

    McKeon may be Marlins' interim answer - CBSSports.com

    In case you missed the article by Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports, that's not going to happen.

    Another source said Bobby Valentine was set to manage the Marlins until he met with Samson and left saying he’d rather work in the Gulag.

    I realize that, but it's the one that DirtyKash re-posted days ago.

    Any decent manager will just say no. Hire McKeon's corpse and be on with it.

    Our Todd Kalas interviewed Larry Beinfest before the game today. He spoke well of Rodriguez, stated it's the entire organization from top to bottom. Thinks everyone is under evaluation including himself.

    Does Fred Wilpon really belong in the same group? If you separate the Madoff scandal from the Mets, Wilpon doesn't strike me as a despicable baseball owner.

    Jack McKeon is officially the interim, making him the second oldest manager in MLB history (Connie Mack at 87 was the oldest).
