After reaching his first World Series as the bench coach with the Blue Jays this past fall, Don Mattingly parted ways with Toronto after the season. At age 64, Mattingly didn’t retire from coaching, though.
Mattingly landed a new role in MLB on Monday as he was named the Phillies’ new bench coach. This is a special hire for Mattingly as he now joins his son, Preston Mattingly, who is Philadelphia’s general manager. This will be the first time the father–son duo have worked for the same team.
