Don Mattingly won't return as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers next year after agreeing with his bosses that he and the team needed a fresh start.

And a wasted $300+ million dollar payroll didn’t help either...
It’ll be like when the Yankees fired Yogi Berra after losing the 1964 World Series.
They’ll be worse next year.
Don’t know what the problem is with this team. Kershaw and Greinke should have been enough to get them deeper into the post-season.
It's the same thing, year after year with my beloved Dodgers. They keep aiming for the back fence when all they really need is to put it over the 1st Baseman's glove.
Now maybe he will Shave those Sideburns!

With all that payroll a head had to roll.
Please ping me with any Southern California related articles. Thank you!
If you want on or off this ping list, please FReepmail me.
Mattingly! I thought I told you to shave those sideburns!
The dodgers have done this before. Too much dissension in the clubhouse from overpaid and over the hill wanna be superstars. Donny is a great baseball man from Indiana. He will do much better with another team with a sensible roster of up and coming players who actually like playing baseball. Look at the Kansas City Royals for a better formula. Even the Houston Astros outperformed this year. Donny should find greener pastures and never look back. Good luck Donny.
If only Arte Moreno had the same guts...
We will take him! Get rid of Girardi!
Please sign Mike Scioscia.
Signed, Angel Fan
Two more suggestions for Donny. Seattle will never win anything. The ball park is too big and you’ll drive yourself crazy trying to win games there. Secondly, find a nice city without thuggish fans. Life and baseball should be enjoyed.
No surprise, but as you can clearly see - except for maybe the idiots making the baseball decisions....
ITS ABOUT PITCHING
And the Mets have way more than the Dodgers.....
A Yankees fan.
Unless you're facing DeGrom, Syndergaard, and Harvey.
They should have made Utley rush the mound for his cheap shot instead of second base.
Ozzie Guillen might be a good fit.
Or maybe it’s just that I like Ozzie Guillen.
Damn shame Sparky Anderson can’t be cloned.
I believe Mike Scioscia is the longest tenured manager in MLB, correct? But 2002 was a long time ago.
Something I notice about the Dodgers is the attitude in the dugout. Few players seem to connect w/each other. There is a lot of talent, but it appears they are playing as 9 individual ballplayers instead of a team. Compare that to the N.Y. Yankees. Lots of big talent and egos, but it’s common to see a Yankee who just struck out to talk w/the man on deck about the types of pitches thrown. Those of us who play baseball understand the path to winning is when the entire team plays as a team.
