Don Mattingly Expresses Interest in Managing Phillies Beyond This Season
Don Mattingly said he would like to continue after committing to two years, as the Phillies have gone 42-22 since he took over.
- On Wednesday, Philadelphia Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly expressed interest in remaining with the team beyond the 2026 season, telling ESPN's Buster Olney, "I think I would like to do it."
- Mattingly took over as interim manager on April 28 after the team fired Rob Thomson, transforming a 9-19 record into a 43-22 mark, the second-best in the majors since his elevation.
- Philadelphia's turnaround has narrowed the National League East deficit to two games, with the Phillies tied with Miami for the National League's second wild-card spot just before the All-Star break.
- President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski remains linked to former Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who declined the role when Thomson was fired and is still considered a potential candidate.
- Mattingly originally committed to two years with the organization in January, though the club's managerial future remains subject to front office evaluations following the 2026 season and Cora's potential availability.
