Overview

  • Kapler was elevated from assistant general manager, becoming the club’s sixth GM and second-ranking baseball executive under Peter Bendix.
  • Miami also promoted Frankie Piliere to vice president of amateur forecasting and player evaluation initiatives and Vinesh Kanthan to senior director of baseball operations.
  • The organization pointed to 2025 farm-system results, with four affiliates reaching the postseason and Jacksonville winning the Triple-A National Championship.
  • The Marlins finished 79-83 in 2025 after a 100-loss 2024, positioning the reconfigured front office for key offseason roster decisions.
  • Kapler’s background includes a 12-year MLB playing career, leading the Dodgers’ player development department from 2015-17, and managing the Phillies and Giants with 2021 NL Manager of the Year honors, and he called the promotion an exciting opportunity.
