The Toronto Blue Jays have hired former Dodgers and Marlins manager Don Mattingly as their bench coach. Mattingly and the Marlins parted ways after the 2022 season.
Manager Don Mattingly of the Miami Marlins makes a pitching change against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on Sept. 4, 2022, in Atlanta.
During his tenure with the Marlins, always having one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, they made the postseason just once — and that was during the expanded postseason in the COVID-shortened 2020 season. Mattingly was named the National League Manager of the Year that season.Los Angeles Dodgers"It was great getting to know Don throughout this process, and we are very excited about the experience he brings with him from the variety of roles he has had over the years,"said.

However, amid an underwhelming first half, they fired manager Charlie Montoyo on July 13 with their 47-42 record. Post-firing, they went 46-28 the rest of the way under then-interim manager Schneider en route to a 92-70 record.
"Donnie Baseball" spent his entire playing career with the New York Yankees, with whom he was a six-time All-Star, three-time Silver Slugger, a batting champion in 1984 and the MVP in 1985.He was the hitting coach for the Yankees from 2004 to 2006 and was the bench coach in 2007 before going to L.A. to serve as their hitting coach for three seasons before becoming their manager.
