MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- Dan Jennings' tenure as Marlins skipper appears to be coming to a close.

The Miami Herald and Fox Sports have reported Marlins brass plans to ask Jennings to return to his post of GM after the season, which was his first as a manager at any level.

Don Mattingly could be a name of interest, reports CBS Sports:

The Marlins, who have had a disastrous injury-plagued season, also are readying for what is expected to be an "exhaustive" search for an experienced manager to take over next year, but one name that keeps popping up in internal talks is Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, whose job could become tenuous depending on how his $300-million team finishes out the year.

The reports also stated the franchise could be primed to make "sweeping changes to baseball operations, from player development and scouting, all the way up to the front office."

The Marlins are 55-79, the fourth worst record in the majors.
