MIAMI — Don Mattingly wants to end to the Miami Marlins’ managerial merry-go-round.
“I signed a four-year deal,” he said at a news conference Monday. “I plan on being here at least 10.”
That would be a big change for the Marlins, who introduced Mattingly as their seventh manager since June 2010. He was hired last week, and the announcement was delayed until after the World Series.
“We committed that we wanted this to be the last manager’s press conference we ever did,” team president David Samson said. “We’ve done too many.”
Mattingly parted last month with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and with the change in jobs, he’ll face a big adjustment regarding resources.
