CINCINNATI — Will Skip Schumaker be the next Reds manager?

He informed Miami that he wouldn't be returning to the Marlins next season according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. Schumaker led them to the playoffs last year, but this season hasn't been nearly as successful.

Miami has a 60-100 record. Despite that, Schumaker appears to be a favorite to become the next Reds manager—and they could have competition.

"The Marlins' 60-100 record hasn't soured the baseball world's opinion of him," Passan wrote. "Schumaker, who spent 11 seasons as a major league player, is extremely well-regarded in the industry and expected to be a top candidate for the two other current managerial openings with Cincinnati—where he played his final two seasons—and the Chicago White Sox."

Passan also mentioned the Cardinals, Rockies and Blue Jays as possible fits.
