MIAMI – The Miami Marlins today announced that Peter Bendix has been named as the club’s President of Baseball Operations.
Bendix becomes the third President of Baseball Operations in Franchise history. In the role, he will oversee the entire Baseball Operations department. Bendix joins the Marlins organization from the Tampa Bay Rays, where he spent 15 seasons, including the last two as the club’s Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations and General Manager. During his time with Tampa Bay (2009-2023), the Rays claimed three American League East Division titles and eight playoff appearances, including a World Series appearance in 2020.
“It is an exciting day for the Marlins organization as we welcome Peter and his wife Lauren to Miami and introduce Peter as our President of Baseball Operations,” said Marlins Chairman and Principal Owner Bruce Sherman. “Peter is an established industry leader with an extensive skillset and deep experience that will continue the momentum we have made on the Major League level, while also strategically building the foundation for sustained success through player acquisition, development, and scouting at all levels. In addition to the extensive track record of winning with the Rays, Peter showcased leadership and culture-defining abilities that will have a tremendous impact on our organization.”
“It is a proud and exciting moment for me and Lauren, and I would like to thank Bruce for his confidence in entrusting me with such an important role,” said Bendix. “I am eager to get to South Florida and to begin working with the talented and passionate people throughout the Marlins organization.”
“Peter has a great reputation within baseball and is committed to achieving sustained excellence in all areas of Baseball Operations,” said Marlins Manager Skip Schumaker. “I am looking forward to working alongside Peter to bring the Marlins back to the playoffs.”
In his recent position with the Rays, Bendix assisted Tampa Bay’s President of Baseball Operations in overseeing the Baseball Operations department, with a primary focus on the Major League level, including player evaluation and acquisition, roster management and daily functions of the club.
The native of Cleveland, Ohio graduated from Tufts University, with a degree in American studies.
