DON MATTINGLY RUMORS
Don Mattingly isn’t going to use Kenley Jansen in the closer role, but it’s probably for the best
The Dodgers handed Brandon League a three-year contract and the closer’s role heading into the 2013 season, but his predictable fall from temporary grace in the role has led to continued questions about his viability as the closer, especially with Kenley Jansen waiting in the wings.
It’s easy to see why questions are being asked, as any comparison between the two relievers...

No quick fixes for Mattingly, Dodgers
Tell me, whom exactly would the Los Angeles Dodgers hire as an immediate replacement for Don Mattingly? Phil Jackson?
Sorry, there is no magic pill, no obvious internal or external choice to take over as Dodgers manager now, next week or even at mid-season.
Which isn't to say that Mattingly deserves greater job security. Legitimate questions persist about his game management...

Los Angeles Dodgers, Angels not managing very well
Spring has sprung. Although in the case of the Los Angeles area baseball teams, they haven’t quite found the spring in their steps.
So far, no one is pointing to Don Mattingly as the reason the Dodgers have fallen to 8-10.
The Dodgers have just one win in their last seven games. Statistically, they aren’t exactly keeping company with the best of the rest. They rank 29th in the...
Don Mattingly Sounds Off “Stupid” Move By Carlos Quinten
Don Mattingly is furious with the “idiot” Carlos Quinten as he said why would anybody try to hit someone in a one run game with the count full. He also stated that Quinten is known for diving into pitches. Do what ball players do and take your base. If Carlos would have done that then this issue would have been avoidable. He said Carlos caused the whole thing and Quinten shouldn’t...

Dodgers' Don Mattingly to host fundraiser
A couple of years ago, Don Mattingly became aware of the challenges faced by kids in low-income communities in Los Angeles who want to play baseball.
Some of their biggest issues was that kids dont have gloves, Mattingly said. They dont have bats and balls and tees. I was like, Really? That seems crazy.

We figured Don Mattingly would be managing for a contract in 2013 and now it’s all but official
Dodgers fans have assumed for a while now that 2013 would determine how much longer Don Mattingly would be with the club (maybe Ned Colletti as well), and now that’s all but official.
Last fall, Mattingly politely asked the club to exercise its one-year option before this final year of his contract. The Dodgers politely refused. He will thus begin the summer as a lame duck, except...
Dodgers' manager Don Mattingly facing 'make-or-break' season in 2013
Under normal circumstances, Don Mattingly probably would have been dismissed after the 2012 season. The new ownership group came in and would presumably like to hire its own management.
However, General Manager Ned Colletti was signed to a long-term extension, paving the way for Mattingly to stick around.
Mattingly is entering his third season as the Dodgers' manager and...
