Blue Jays hire Don Mattingly as bench coach

TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays have hired Don Mattingly to serve as bench coach under manager John Schneider. Mattingly previously spent seven seasons as manager of the Miami Marlins and five years as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was named National League manager of the year in 2020 with Miami. The 61-year-old Mattingly spent his entire 14-year big league playing career with the New York Yankees and was a six-time All-Star. The Blue Jays say interim bench coach Casey Candaele will return to Triple-A Buffalo to manage the Bisons next season.
