Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter
If the Miami Marlins are still keen on pursuing Don Mattingly to be their next manager, the Los Angeles Dodgers' skipper since 2011 has become available.
CBS Sports reports the 54-year-old is now on the market:
Don Mattingly and the Dodgers will part ways, sources tell CBS Sports.
The decision is being described as mutual.
Dodgers higherups like Mattingly very much, but it was apparent there wasn't support for the long-term. Word is Mattingly felt he was treated very well by baseball president Andrew Friedman and others, but the sides ultimately decided it was better to move on.
An announcement is expected later Thursday.
The report also named the Marlins as a team "known to have interest."
The Dodgers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs and has a 446-363 (.551 win percentage)) record as a manager, including three division titles and three consecutive playoff appearances.
