There’s already been so much roster turnover on the Marlins under new owners Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter that it’s hard to say what next year’s team will look like.
But Jeter gave indication on Thursday that Don Mattingly is staying put as manager.
“He’s under contract, yeah,” Jeter replied Thursday when asked about Mattingly’s future with the team before adding with tongue-in-cheek humor: “Did he say something? Is he going somewhere?”
Mattingly has one year remaining on the four-year deal he signed under previous ownership. The Marlins have gone 215-259 under Mattingly, never once finishing with a winning record or advancing to the postseason.
