I'm glad the Philadelphia Phillies came to their senses and announced last night that Don Mattingly would remain as the team's manager for the next two seasons after serving on an interim basis in 2026.
All Mattingly did was take a team headed for disaster, right the ship and make their way to the post-season.
Yet an early exit against the Atlanta Braves was sufficient for the team to seek out former Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora who declined the position.
As it stands, Mattingly is popular with his players, and I think hiring a new manager at this time would have done more harm than good.
Don Mattingly earned the chance to be the Phillies full-time manager and it's about time the club removed the interim tag.
