Marlins Retain McCullough Amid Injury Concerns and Payroll Constraints
The Miami Marlins confirmed that manager Clayton McCullough will return for a third season, marking the franchise's best two-year record since 2009-2010 despite a low payroll. While the team missed the postseason, President Peter Bendix expressed pride in the organizational progress. Key injury updates indicate that pitchers Andrew Nardi and William Kempner will likely miss most of 2027, while outfielder Jakob Marsee and pitcher Tyler Zuber require further evaluation. The club also confirmed it will retain Sandy Alcantara but is moving on from hitting coach Pedro Guerrero.
