2002

When Jeffrey Loria (who had owned the Expos) bought the Florida Marlins in 2002, he brought his friend Torborg to serve as manager to replace Tony Perez.

Torborg also had his son Dale serve in the organization, as he was hired to serve as strength and conditioning director.

The team went 79-83 that year.

2003

In 2003, Torborg was fired from the Marlins after only 38 games following mounting criticism over the handling of the starting pitching, which saw injuries to three pitchers (A. J. Burnett, Josh Beckett and Mark Redman) in the span of two weeks.

Following a loss to Colorado, which dropped them to 16-22 with their seventh loss in the past eight games, general manager Larry Beinfest informed Toborg of his firing, while stating to the press that "This is a better team than we've played. The fans here in South Florida deserve to have hope this summer. There is enough time left to turn it around and get back in it."

Both of the Torborgs were let go along with pitching coach Brad Arnsberg.

Jack McKeon was hired to replace him and led the team to a 2003 World Series victory.

Torborg expressed no bitterness for the firing, noting that due to the fact that he his wife were at the Jersey Shore because of the firing, he happened to be present when one of his neighbors (a two-year-old boy) fell off a dock; Torborg and a young man helped the boy out of the water before a nearby nurse saved the boy.
