Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports says Bobby Valentine’s status with the Florida Marlins is “out for now”. Valentine was considered the front-runner for the Marlins’ managerial position as of last week, but as of yesterday, he was no longer considered for the job.

According to Rosenthal, there are two different version of how the Marlins’ initial talks with Valentine disintegrated:

• Marlins officials were turned off by Valentine during their initial phone conservations with him.
• Valentine grew disenchanted with the Marlins and decided to pull back and consider other options.

Arizona Diamondbacks third base coach, Bo Porter, interviewed for the position on Friday and according to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated, the Marlins’ attention has been turned to him for now.
