Former Marlins and Dodgers manager Don Mattingly joins Blue Jays as bench coach – Toronto

The Toronto Blue Jays hired Don Mattingly as a bench coach under manager John Schneider.

Mattingly previously spent seven seasons as manager of the Miami Marlins and five years as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He was named National League Manager of the Year in 2020 with Miami.

Mattingly, 61, spent his entire 14-year big league career with the New York Yankees and was a six-time All-Star.

The Blue Jays say interim bench coach Casey Kandale will return to Triple-A Buffalo to manage the Bisons next season.

The team plans to announce its full 2023 coaching staff in the coming weeks.
