Phillies Commit to Don Mattingly as Full-Time Manager

The Philadelphia Phillies have committed to Don Mattingly as their full-time manager, signing him to a two-year deal after his successful interim stint. Mattingly took over the team in the midst of the season, leading them to a 73-45 record in their next 118 games. Despite a late-season collapse, the Phillies have retained their core players, including Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Kyle Schwarber, who are under contract for several more years. Mattingly has managed the Los Angeles Dodgers and Miami Marlins in the past and has been in professional baseball since 1979.
