Gload and Donnelly Free Agents
Two veteran players are leaving the Fish. Earlier today, the Marlins declined Ross Gload’s $2.6 million option and he is now a free agent. Also filing for free agency was reliever Brendan Donnelly.

The Marlins filled their remaining coaching vacancies by hiring Dave Collins as the new third base coach, Josue Espada as first base coach and former Marlins’ pitcher Reid Cornelius as bullpen coach. In somewhat related news, former Fish 3rd base coach Bo Porter has taken that position with the Arizona where he is expected to waive in many Diamondbacks to be thrown out at the plate.
Update: BTW, looks like Bo Porter was actually a finalist for the Washington Nationals managerial job.
