Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, who has cycled through eight "permanent" managers and two interim managers since buying the team in 2002, on Thursday landed the man he targeted in his latest skipper search: former New York Yankees star Don Mattingly, sources said.
Mattingly, as expected, agreed to a four-year contract to replace Dan Jennings, who was reassigned to the front office but instructed not to return to work until he has more conversations with Loria.
Mattingly, 54, and the Dodgers parted ways recently after he led the team to three consecutive National League West titles but no World Series appearances.

I can’t believe that Mattingly wants to work for that crook Loria. Talk about a dysfunctional organization! Donny Baseball gonna have his hands full.

This is a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.

Per GOPsterinMA:
Bud Black hired by WAS. Don Mattingly hired by MIA.
Looks like PIT third base coach Rick Sofield will be hired by SD.
Formal announcements coming later, due to the WS.
You kinda knew that going happen ES
Impeach Loria.
Don’t know anything about Mattingly’s new team and very little about the Dodgers either.
If he got the Dodgers to the playoffs, it could come down to staff. Are they top notch.
If the Marlins have better staff, this may be a good move. If not, it may not be so great.
This is a good move for Mattingly. He’s 54 and will be 58 at the end of the contract. Will lead him into some good retirement years.
Managers and players sometimes really spark on a different team, rising to new levels.
Here’s to wishing Mattingly success with the Marlins.
Billy Beane, Bill James, and the ghost of Earl Weaver put together would not have a chance.
SD changed course and hired AZ third base coach Andy Green as their new manager.
Ten managers in thirteen years. Yes, you can tell he was a friend of George Steinbrenner.
Bad manager for the dodgers sooo,
The Marlins hire him?
Miami Marlins could make the Jackie Robinson Little League team look honest...
