The search is over. A new era can begin. The Marlins announced on Monday that they have hired Dodgers first-base coach Clayton McCullough to be the 17th manager in franchise history.

The Miami Marlins have hired Clayton McCullough as their next manager, the team announced Monday. McCullough becomes the 17th manager in Marlins franchise history and the third since 2022. He inherits a 2024 Marlins team that finished 62-100 and in last place in the National League East.

McCullough, 44, was hired by the Dodgers in 2015 as their minor league field coordinator and had been the first-base coach on Dave Roberts' staff since the 2021 season. The Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in five games last month to win their eighth World Series title. Associated Press on Sunday reported he was going to be named manager.
