"So what does this mean for the Marlins? Quite likely...very little. Fish on First was quick to frame the major upshot of this announcement as being little more than complicating matters for teams interested in luring Kapler out of Miami, and that does hit the nail on the head. Title bumps really do matter in front office hirings, as silly as it might sound on the surface."
"Obviously, one such title would be President of Baseball Operations...the job Peter Bendix has held for the Miami Marlins since taking over franchise operations after Ng's departure. Bendix has been acting GM in that time, but never officially took that GM title. Yet Bendix remains in full control, with final say, of all front office decision making. Certainly, Kapler has been an invaluable asset to Bendix and the Marlins over the last two seasons, and has proven himself well worth keeping."
Gabe Kapler was promoted to general manager of the Miami Marlins, becoming the sixth person to hold that title and the first since Kim Ng's departure. Kapler had previously been an assistant GM. Frankie Piliere and Vinesh Kanthan also received promotions, which likely strengthens retention by making them harder to be poached. Title upgrades matter because GM positions are rarer and more attractive in the market. Peter Bendix remains President of Baseball Operations and retains final decision-making authority over the franchise. Operational control is expected to remain with Bendix, so substantive changes beyond compensation and resume updates are unlikely.
