Don Mattingly is stepping away from his position as bench coach of the Toronto Blue Jays, the New York Post reported on Thursday.
Mattingly’s contract expired after the Blue Jays’ season ended with an 11th-inning loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday.
Per the report, the 64-year-old Mattingly is not retiring. Rather, he is looking for a new opportunity in baseball.
He joined the Blue Jays in November 2022 as the bench coach for manager John Schneider.
Mattingly went 889-950 as manager for the Dodgers (2011-15) and Miami Marlins (2016-22). He was named the 2020 National League Manager of the Year.
A six-time All-Star first baseman, Mattingly spent his entire 14-year playing career with the New York Yankees. He was the American League MVP in 1985.
