Though the Marlins prefer Bobby Valentine, and though Valentine is a near lock to accept the deal the team will offer him on Friday, they are still going to interview two other people for their vacant managerial position:
Marlins To Interview Edwin Rodriguez And Bo Porter
The Marlins, however, will interview two other candidates Friday, according to major-league sources — Edwin Rodriguez, their interim manager, and Bo Porter, the Diamondbacks’ third base coach.
Edwin Rodriguez will be interviewed because he’s already taking over on a temporary basis. Bo Porter will be interviewed to satisfy the rule stipulating that teams must interview minority candidates.
