Former Miami Marlins general manager Dan Jennings has found employment for the 2016 season, accepting a front-office position with the Washington Nationals.

Jennings will serve as a special assistant to Nationals president of baseball operations and general manager Mike Rizzo, while focusing on all facets of the team's scouting operations.

Jennings - who was fired in October shortly after the Marlins named Don Mattingly as the club's new manager - has extensive experience in many different front-office roles. He's previously served as a scouting director, vice president of player personnel, and an assistant GM since 1996 for four different major-league organizations.

The 55-year-old also served as Miami's manager last season following the firing of Mike Redmond, leading the club to a disappointing 55-69 record down the stretch.
