Report: Miami Marlins hire Don Mattingly as manager
— -- The Miami Marlins have hired Don Mattingly to be their next manager, according to a report.
VICE Sports, citing sources, reported that the deal is for four years and likely will be made official after the World Series.
Mattingly stepped down as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 22 with one year remaining on his contract. The Dodgers won 55 percent of their regular-season games in his five seasons (446-363).
The Marlins began their search earlier this month, after it was determined that Dan Jennings would not return in the role next season. Jennings had made the unusual move from GM to manager when the Marlins fired Mike Redmond in May after a 16-22 start.
The change failed to spark a turnaround, and the injury-riddled Marlins finished 71-91 in their sixth consecutive losing season.
Mattingly led the Dodgers to three straight NL West titles, a first in franchise history.
