By Allan

Current first base coach of the San Diego Padres, Rich Renteria, is on the Florida Marlins’ radar to possibly manage the club in 2011, according to MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro.

The Marlins are familiar with the 49-year-old Renteria since he managed four season in the Marlins’ Minor League system starting in 1998. He has also played as a second baseman for the Marlins in 1993-1994.

The Marlins will address the manager situation after the season. Candidates for the position include Tony Pena, interim manager Edwin Rodriguez, Larry Bowa and Wally Backman – the latter two have not been confirmed.  Frisaro says Joe Torre is not regarded as a candidate.
