According to FOXSports’ Jon Paul Morosi, some officials from the Florida Marlins’ organization favor Bo Porter as the next manager of the team. Morosi adds that it’s unclear where the team’s managerial search stands.

The 38-year-old Porter is the Arizona Diamondbacks’ third-base coach. He interviewed with the Marlins in June right after the team fired Edwin Rodriguez. Porter was the Marlins’ third base coach and outfield instructor from 2007-2009.

It was believed until earlier this week that Bobby Valentine was the “front-runner” for the Marlins job. ESPN’s Tim Krkjian confirmed that Valentine removed his name from consideration on October 13.
