The Marlins will retain Edwin Rodriguez as manager, promoting him from interim to full-time skipper for the 2011 season, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel.The official announcement came Wednesday morning.
Rodriguez took the helm in late June after the team fired manager Fredi Gonzalez, who took the Braves' managerial reins from Bobby Cox when he retired last month.
The 50-year-old former major league infielder looked like a longshot to be in this position when he first took over on an interim basis for the Marlins. Bobby Valentine and Bo Porter were among those tipped as favorites to get the full-time job, but negotiations with Valentine have been rocky and Porter took a coaching job with the Nationals Tuesday.
