According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker has informed players that he is not staying in Miami. With the decision, the 44-year-old field manager will leave the club after two seasons.

According to multiple reports, Schumaker has also informed the team that he will miss the final two games of the season due to a death in the family. Schumaker broke the news to players Friday after the Marlins’ 15-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Schumaker joined the Marlins in 2023 and helped the team to an 83-78 record and its fourth playoff berth that season. As a result, Schumaker was named NL Manager of the Year in 2023. Miami was ultimately defeated by the Philadelphia Philles in the wild card round.

Marlins GM Kim Ng, who was also instrumental in their unexpected postseason berth, resigned in October after the team considered hiring a president of baseball operations in her place. Schumaker’s contract was then restructured, with the team option for 2025 removed, according to Passan.

Miami had a more lackluster 2024 season, posting the worst record in the Netherlands at 60-100, but Schumaker should still be a top candidate for other vacant manager positions around the league. Passan said Schumaker is likely to be a contender for open positions with the Cincinnati Reds, where Schumaker spent two years as a player during his 11-year career, and the Chicago White Sox, who lost a record-tying 121st game on Friday.

The Marlins close out their season this weekend against the Blue Jays. With Schumaker gone, stand-in coach Luis Urueta will lead the team in his place.
