Bringing back Don Mattingly as the Miami Marlins manager is a chance team CEO Derek Jeter feels is worth taking. Regardless of a 53-101 record and plenty of questions as to the reasons why such a move was made this past week, Jeter is banking on a future with his former one-time New York Yankees teammate steering the ship full of “what if’s”.
Mattingly, one of the carryovers from the former ownership group, is the right man to continue to help build continuity and serve as a bridge from what was old to what should be new.
