Phillies Hire Don Mattingly as Bench Coach to Boost Rob Thomson’s Staff

Philadelphia named Mattingly, 64, as Thomson’s new bench coach after shifting Mike Calitri into a field coordinator role. Dombrowski said the club wanted “somebody with managerial experience,” and Mattingly managed the Dodgers (2011-15) and Marlins (2016-22). Thomson praised him as a “perfect fit.” Dombrowski brushed off concerns about Don working with son, Preston.
