Report: Don Mattingly to Become Miami Marlins Manager
Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter
The Miami Marlins' wheel of managers has stopped on Don Mattingly, reports Vice Sports, making the former Dodgers skipper the organization's eighth manager since 2010.
The deal is for four years and the Marlins are "thought to be waiting" until the end of the World Series to make an official announcement.
The 54-year-old led the Dodgers to a 446-363 record and three consecutive division titles. He's coming off a first-round playoff exit, which led to a mutual decision to part ways.
Mattingly joins a young and talented Marlins team featuring two franchise cornerstones in slugger Giancarlo Stanton and pitcher Jose Fernandez. But the team struggled immensely this season, going 71-91 amid a bizarre managerial swap from Mike Redmond to former GM Dan Jennings.
