Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker is set to become a free agent after the 2024 season, according to a report.

Schumaker was hired by former general manager Kim Ng in October 2022. He agreed to a two-year deal with a club option for 2025.

The report states that Miami declined the option this past winter.

The scheduled start time for Monday's game between the New York Yankees and Miami Marlins has been pushed back because of the total solar eclipse.

The Yankees were initially set to host the Marlins at 2:05 p.m. ET, but the start time has been delayed four hours.

"After reconsidering the challenges of playing through Monday's solar eclipse, including potential in-game delays, Major League Baseball and the Yankees have rescheduled the start time of the Yankees-Marlins game on April 8 at Yankee Stadium from 2:05 p.m. to 6:05 p.m.," the club said in a statement.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the 2024 season, the team announced Thursday.

The decision came after Perez visited Dr. Keith Meister for the second time in approximately two weeks. He will have the procedure on his right elbow on Monday.

"I know Eury is really frustrated," Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix said. "He's really disappointed, but he also understands that this is a minor setback in what's going to be a really long career."

The Miami Marlins acquired infielder Emmanuel Rivera from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.

The Marlins designated infielder Jacob Amaya for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster.

Jazz Chisholm, Jr. wasn't happy with the Miami Marlins' decision to open the retractable roof on top of LoanDepot Park this weekend.

The facility's roof was open for three of four games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, all of which the Marlins lost.

"That we couldn't see," Chisholm said after Sunday's loss, when asked what made Pittsburgh's relief pitchers such a challenge in the series. "That's all. I feel like the shadows were really -- we're not used to playing in shadows. We normally play inside every day.

"So, when we get a shadow for three of the four games at home for the first time of the season, it's kind of hard to adjust to. You know, we're used to the roof being closed and being able to see every at-bat. It's kind of tough to see when it's black out there and you're facing a guy throwing 101 [mph], you know?"

Chisholm hit a grand slam in the loss, but all told in the series, Miami was outscored 31-17. 

Miguel Rojas was bothered by recent comments from former teammate Jazz Chisholm, saying "you don't even know me," and implying that the Miami Marlins star should "respect everybody" in the clubhouse.

Rojas and Chisholm were teammates on the Marlins for parts of three seasons from 2020 to 2022, which were Chisholm's first three years in the Major Leagues.

During an appearance on "The Pivot" podcast, Chisholm referred to that period as the "worst three years of probably my life" and took multiple shots at an unidentified team "captain," an apparent reference to Rojas, who was the Marlins' de facto captain at the time.

"You can't be a team leader when you've got guys that's been in the clubhouse that's been in there nine or 10 years even though they suck," Chisholm said. "They've been there for nine or 10 years and the team calls them the team captain. But they're not a good captain, they're not a good person, you're not even a good athlete at this point. You're just here and you're bringing down the young guys that are supposed to be good."

Rojas spent parts of eight seasons with the Marlins before being traded last year to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran infielder said Tuesday that Chisholm is "entitled" to his opinion of his playing abilities but bristled at the apparent attack on his character.

"Whatever you want to say about me as a player, you can have that opinion," Rojas said. "But you saying that I'm a bad person when you don't even know me, that's kind of what bothers me."

A.J. Puk is now the "frontrunner" to claim the fourth spot in the Miami Marlins' starting rotation, according to a report.

Puk, 29, has never made a Major League start but has started 42 games in the Minor Leagues.

The sixth overall pick in 2016, Puk moved to the bullpen in 2019 after undergoing Tommy John surgery the year prior. 

The Marlins are turning to a potential bounce-back candidate to be their Opening Day shortstop.

Veteran Tim Anderson and Miami agreed to a Major League contract for 2024 on Thursday morning, a source told MLB.com. The deal, which is pending the completion of a physical and has not been confirmed by the club, is for one year and $5 million, according to multiple reports.
 

The Miami Marlins have hired Sam Mondry-Cohen as vice president of player personnel.

The club also added Sara Goodrum as director of special projects and Brandon Mann was hired as pitching strategist.

Mondry-Cohen rose to prominence with the Washington Nationals working in the analytics department that helped the club to the World Series title in 2019. He moved on to assist the front offices of the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago White Sox since.

A day after losing to Minnesota in salary arbitration, utilityman Nick Gordon was traded from the Twins to the Miami Marlins on Sunday for left-handed reliever Steven Okert.
