Dodger fans are up in arms right about now over the the fact that Don Mattingly and the Dodgers could not agree on a contract, so that agreed to part ways. Some of you think he should have been offered a multi-year deal and stayed as manager because he was getting better as a manger and he was good at soothing all the savage egos in the clubhouse. Others wanted him fired, hung in effigy and then have his severed head paraded around Chavez Ravine on a stick!
The fact of the matter was that Friedman and Zaidi (FAZ) did not want Mattingly back as manager, but they also knew that most players really liked him, including Zack Greinke, whom they would like to re-sign.
