Marlins hired Frank Menechino as hitting coach. The Marlins have also added former major league outfielder Brett Butler as a third base coach and outfield coach. Menechino, who played seven seasons in the majors, has been a coach in the Yankees' minor league system.

Marlins fired team president Larry Beinfest. It's no surprise, as owner Jeffrey Loria is making more of the baseball decisions these days and a recent report from Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports indicated that a front office shakeup was likely coming. Beinfest has worked with the club since 2002.
