Don Mattingly will return to manage the Miami Marlins in 2022, general manager Kim Ng said Thursday.
Ng revealed the decision during Bally Sports Florida's telecast of Miami's game Thursday afternoon against the Los Angeles Dodgers, saying the Marlins will exercise the mutual option on Mattingly's contract for 2022.
"We've exercised our portion [of the contract], and Donnie has said that he wants to be back for 2022," Ng said. "So we're pretty excited about that one."
Mattingly, 60, is in his sixth season with the Marlins and entered Thursday with a record of 345-446 with the organization.
