TORONTO, CAN (SNN-TV) – Don Mattingly, who left his job as Miami Marlins manager at the end of last season, is joining the Toronto Blue Jays staff as bench coach to manager John Schneider.
Mattingly said he’d been contacted by multiple clubs with offers for 2023, but nothing interested him until Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins reached out.
The former New York Yankees slugger and six-time All-Star joins the Blue Jays after seven seasons with the Marlins. Mattingly won NL Manager of the Year honors with Miami in 2020.
