ST. PETERSBURG -- Devil Rays bullpen coach Darren Daulton is being mentioned as a possible managerial candidate for the Florida Marlins following the dismissal of John Boles on Monday.
Daulton was one of Florida's key acquisitions during its run to the World Series in 1997. He interviewed with the Phillies for their managerial position in the past off-season before coming to Tampa Bay.
The Marlins had not contacted the Rays for permission to speak to Daulton, but he said he would have strong interest in a manager's job.
"That's the only reason I'm still in the game," Daulton said Monday.
