Report: Ex-Giants manager Gabe Kapler joins Marlins as assistant GM originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Gabe Kapler has reportedly secured a new MLB role as he joins the Miami Marlins as an assistant general manager, per multiple reports.

According to reports, the former San Francisco Giants manager will now serve in a management position with the Miami Marlins.

Craig Mish of The Miami Herald and MLB Network was the first to break the news, stating that Kapler will be joining the Marlins as an Assistant General Manager, working under Peter Bendix.

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal later reported that Kapler’s focus will primarily be on player development, although he will be involved in all areas of the Marlins’ baseball operations.

Kapler, who spent four seasons as the San Francisco Giants manager, was fired in September after achieving a 295-248 record and leading the team to one playoff appearance, followed by a 78-81 performance with the team in 2023.

Prior to joining the Giants, Kapler had a 12-year MLB career with six different teams. After retiring in 2010, he became the manager for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2018, before joining the Giants.

In addition, Kapler was reportedly a candidate for the baseball operations role with the Boston Red Sox, a team he played for over four seasons. However, the Red Sox ultimately hired Craig Breslow, another former player.
