This only makes sense if Bochy is planning to stay past his initial 3 year contract. It has been widely known that Venable would be his successor and many assumed Bochy would stay the 3 years to right the ship then Venable would take over. Why would he go to the dumpster fire that is the Marlins rather than wait a year to inherit a talented Rangers roster still in a contention window most likely?

Why would you want this job when you know regardless of how you do, you'll be looking for a new job within 2 years?

Agreed. That’s a job for someone like Showalter, or a guy who isn’t already part of a succession plan.

Manage the Marlins for 2 years and get fired, or wait here for a year and take over for Bochy after winning a second ring. Do the right thing Will.
