Editing Don Mattingly (section)

==Managerial career==
===Los Angeles Dodgers (2010–2015)===
When Torre decided to retire at the end of the 2010 season, Mattingly was announced as his replacement.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/los-angeles/mlb/news/story?id=5586087|title=Mattingly deal already in place|date=September 18, 2010|first=Tony|last=Jackson|work=ESPNLosAngeles.com}}</ref> To acquire some managerial experience, Mattingly managed the [[Phoenix Desert Dogs]] of the [[Arizona Fall League]] in 2010.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/print?id=5679375&type=story|title=Don Mattingly managing in Fall League|date=October 12, 2010|first=Tony|last=Jackson|work=ESPNLosAngeles.com}}</ref>

Mattingly made his managerial debut on March 31, 2011, by defeating [[Dodgers–Giants rivalry|in-state rival]] and [[2010 World Series|defending champion]] [[San Francisco Giants]] 2–1 at [[Dodger Stadium]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2012_05_06_chamlb_detmlb_1&mode=gameday#gid=2011_03_31_sfnmlb_lanmlb_1&mode=recap&c_id=la|access-date=May 6, 2012|title=Kershaw sparkles in outdueling Giants' ace|first=Ken|last=Gurnick|work=MLB.com|date=April 1, 2011}}</ref> Despite the background of a bitter divorce battle between Dodgers' owner [[Frank McCourt (executive)|Frank McCourt]] and his wife that put the fiscal health of the Dodgers into jeopardy, Mattingly managed to take the Dodgers to a winning record that season due to his mentorship of many young players such as MVP candidate [[Matt Kemp]] and [[Cy Young Award]] winner [[Clayton Kershaw]]:

<blockquote>"He's so positive", Kershaw said. "All he asks of us is just go out there and play the way we're supposed to. Do things the right way on the field, and he's happy with you. When it's simple like that, it's easy to play for, and it's fun to play for."<ref name="Kepner">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/07/sports/baseball/don-mattingly-raised-a-yankee-and-happy-to-be-a-dodger.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all|title=Raised a Yankee, Mattingly Is Happy to Be a Dodger|date=May 7, 2012|first=Tyler|last=Kepner|newspaper=The New York Times|page=D1}}</ref> </blockquote>

In 2013, Mattingly and the Dodgers got off to a rough start due to various injuries, and were in last place in May, leading to much media speculation that he would soon be fired.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/los-angeles-manager-don-mattingly-could-be-fired-soon-after-team-swept-by-atlanta-braves-051913|title=Ax to fall soon for LA's Mattingly|first=Ken|last=Rosenthal|work=FOX Sports|date=May 19, 2013|access-date=October 23, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130607203154/http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/los-angeles-manager-don-mattingly-could-be-fired-soon-after-team-swept-by-atlanta-braves-051913 |archive-date=June 7, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Once players got healthy, though, the team went on a tear and managed to win the NL West and beat the [[Atlanta Braves]] in the [[2013 National League Division Series]] (NLDS) in four games. They then lost to the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] in the [[2013 National League Championship Series|NLCS]] in six games. After the season, Mattingly called out Dodger management for its perceived lack of support of him during the season and said that he wanted a multiyear contract in place to return in 2014.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgersnow/la-sp-dn-dodgers-don-mattingly-20131021,0,760028.story#axzz2iY301ru7|title=Don Mattingly says Dodgers' contract 'doesn't mean I'll be back' |first=Steve|last=Dilbeck|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=October 21, 2013|access-date=October 23, 2013}}</ref> Mattingly finished second in the voting for [[Major League Baseball Manager of the Year Award|National League Manager of the Year]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/la/don-mattingly-runner-up-in-national-league-manager-of-year-vote?ymd=20131112&content_id=63872748&vkey=news_la|title=Mattingly runner-up in NL Manager of Year vote|first=AJ|last=Cassavell|website=MLB.com|date=November 12, 2013|access-date=November 12, 2013}}</ref>

Mattingly stated that one of his managerial idols was [[Tony La Russa]]. Mattingly admired La Russa from his playing days with the Yankees in the late 1980s. LaRussa had managed the dominant [[Oakland Athletics]] teams of the era. Mattingly recalled that despite the A's superiority to the Yankees, they still played intensely.<ref name="Kepner"/>

On January 7, 2014, Mattingly and the Dodgers agreed on a three-year contract extension for him to remain as manager of the Dodgers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/la/manager-don-mattingly-dodgers-agree-on-contract-extension?ymd=20140106&content_id=66345480&vkey=news_la|title=Snowed-in Mattingly gets three-year extension |date=January 8, 2014 |first=Ken |last=Gurnick |work=MLB.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140110112100/http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/la/manager-don-mattingly-los-angeles-dodgers-agree-on-contract-extension?ymd=20140106&content_id=66345480&vkey=news_la |archive-date=January 10, 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In the subsequent two seasons, the Dodgers won the NL West but lost the NLDS both years; in four games to the Cardinals in 2014, and in five games to the [[New York Mets]] in 2015.

On October 22, 2015, the Dodgers and Mattingly mutually agreed to part ways, and he stepped down from his position with one year left on his contract.<ref>{{cite news|title=Reports: Miami Marlins hire Don Mattingly as manager|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/13999854/miami-marlins-hire-don-mattingly-manager|website=ESPN|agency=Associated Press|date=October 29, 2015|access-date=30 October 2015}}</ref> He had a 446–363 record<ref name="managerial record">{{cite web|title=Don Mattingly|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/mattido01.shtml|website=Baseball-Reference.com|publisher=Sports Reference|access-date=September 18, 2015}}</ref> with the Dodgers, with a winning percentage of .551,<ref name="managerial record"/> which was second-best in Los Angeles Dodgers history.<ref name="Don Mattingly out as Dodgers manager">{{cite news |url=http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-dn-dodgers-don-mattingly-20151022-story.html |title=Don Mattingly out as Dodgers manager |work=Los Angeles Times |first1=Dylan |last1=Hernández |first2=Bill |last2=Shaikin |date=October 22, 2015 |access-date=October 22, 2015}}</ref> He finished with a postseason record of eight wins and 11 losses<ref name="managerial record"/> and was the first manager in franchise history to guide the team to three straight postseason appearances.<ref name="Don Mattingly out as Dodgers manager"/>
