Mike Matheney would be an amazing poach from the Cardinals

Don Mattingly and the Dodgers will part ways, sources tell CBSSports.com.

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

Mattingly had one year remaining on his contract, and sources indicated to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne that the Dodgers offered him an extension this past weekend. But after years of uncertainty about the Dodgers’ long-term commitment to him — Mattingly has worked under two different ownership groups and two different general managers — he informed the team earlier this week that he preferred to move on from the team.

After a week of discussions with the Dodgers, sources indicated Mattingly simply felt he’d be more comfortable working for a front office and ownership group that had hired him, instead of constantly trying to adapt to someone else’s vision.

Astros will trade AJ Hinch to LA for 2 first rounders.

JK, ESPN analyst said candidates will be lined up for this prime job including folks like Dave Martinez + Bud Black + Ron Renecky + Gabe Kappler + some guy named Tim.

Hopefully not

This would be glorious, please make this happen.

Under a different GM, I'd think Dusty would be in play here possibly but he isn't gonna mix well with the advanced analytics crew
