context_page_description: Major League Baseball is the highest level of play in North American professional baseball and is the organization that operates the National League and the American League. In 2000, the two leagues were officially disbanded as separate legal entities, and all of their rights and functions were consolidated in the commissioner's office. Since that time, Major League Baseball has operated as a single league. Major League Baseball constitutes one of the major professional sports leagues of the United States and Canada and is composed of 30 teams.
  Each team in the league has a manager, who is responsible for team strategy and leadership on and off the field. Assisted by various coaches, the manager sets the line-up and starting pitcher before each game and makes substitutions throughout the game. In early baseball history, it was not uncommon for players to fill multiple roles as player-managers; specifically, they managed the team while still being signed to play for the club. The last player-manager in Major League Baseball was Pete Rose, who began managing the Cincinnati Reds in 1984.
context_section_description: The Marlins franchise entered the National League in 1993 as an expansion team and was known as the Florida Marlins until 2011. The franchise's first manager was Rene Lachemann, who accumulated 285 losses during his four-season tenure. Jim Leyland and Jack McKeon each guided the team to World Series victories, in 1997 and 2003, respectively; however, the team has never won a division title. Marlins managers have never lost a playoff series, and Miami is the only franchise in Major League Baseball to accomplish the feat. McKeon is the franchise leader in wins (281). Joe Girardi won the Manager of the Year Award in his only season managing the Marlins (2006). He is the only manager to win the award while fielding a team with a losing record, and he's the only manager to win with a team that finished in fourth place in its division. Jack McKeon was named the team's interim manager in 2011, having been named to the position following the mid-season resignation of Edwin Rodríguez. At the conclusion of the 2011 season, the Marlins hired Ozzie Guillén to be their manager for the 2012 season; however, he was fired following his first season. The Marlins then named Mike Redmond as their manager. Redmond was subsequently fired on May 17, 2015 and replaced by Dan Jennings on an interim basis. After the 2015 season, Don Mattingly signed a four-year contract to become the club's 15th manager.
