Mattingly, Dodgers part ways
Mattingly and the front office mutually agreed to part on Thursday as the team that bounced the Dodgers from the postseason, the New York Mets, prepared to represent the National League in the 2015 World Series.
The fact the Dodgers aren’t there - and haven’t been since 1988 - was a factor in the team’s decision to move on from Mattingly, who survived only one year under the new hierarchy headed by Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman.
According to ESPN, Mattingly was offered a contract extension last week. He has one year remaining on his existing deal.
