돈 매팅리 LA 다저스 감독이 결국 경질됐다. 뉴욕 지역지인 ‘뉴욕 포스트’는 22일 “다저스가 매팅리 감독을 해고했다”고 전했다. 다저스는 올해 3년 연속 내셔널리그 서부지구 우승을 달성했다. 하지만 디비전시리즈에서 뉴욕 메츠에 2승3패로 패하며 챔피언십시리즈 진출에 실패했다. 다저스는 이번 디비전시리즈 탈락의 책임을 물어 매팅리 감독을 해고한 것으로 보인다. 매팅리 감독의 해임설은 올 시즌을 앞두고 앤드류 프리드먼 사장이 새로 부임하면서 불거졌다. 다저스가 이번 디비전시리즈에서 탈락하자 매팅리가 해고될 것이라는 목소리가 팬들 사이에서도 나올 정도였다. 잭 그레인키를 다독이는 매팅리 감독. 사진|게티이미지/멀티비츠2011년 조 토레 감독의 뒤를 이어 다저스 사령탑에 부임한 매팅리 감독은 다저스에서 5시즌 동안 감독을 지내며 446승363패, 승률 5할5푼1리에 좋은 성적을 거뒀다. 2013년부터는 3년 연속 팀을 포스트시즌에 올려놨다. 하지만 월드시리즈 우승이 최종 목표인 다저스였음에도 포스트시즌에서 계속 실패를 거듭했고, 결국 다저스의 인내심도 한계에 달했다. 경향신문 윤은용 기자 plaimstone@kyunghyang.com

Don Mattingly, Dodgers part ways

CHICAGO -- Don Mattingly and the Dodgers will part ways, sources tell CBS Sports.

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 won three straight division titles with the Dodgers, becoming the first Dodgers manager ever to do that and also make the playoffs in three straight. But Mattingly bore the heavy burden of outsized expectations.

People frequently repeated that the Dodgers hade a record $300-million payroll, adding to the hype and expectation. But the reality is that figure included many players no longer with the team including Matt Kemp, Brian Wilson, Dan Haren and many, many others, and the Dodgers' front office never adequately replaced starting pitchers Hyun-Jin Ryu and Brandon McCarthy when they went down early with season-ending injuries.

The Marlins are known to have interest in Mattingly, and there are three other jobs open, as well. Mattingly wants to keep managing.

The Marlins could offer Mattingly an opportunity for more authory than he had in L.A., which was little. The Nationals have shown interest in Mattingly in the past but they seem a lot further down the road with their managerial search.

Word was getting around during the year that Mattingly might need to get out of the first round or perhaps even get to the World Series to spare his job, and it turns out the first-round elimination probably didn't help him, though the Dodgers lost a decisive Game 5 by just 3-2 to the Mets, who look like a juggernaut at the moment.

One Dodgers higherup, after three days of discussing Mattingly's future, said the decisionmakers were still “ruminating” what seemed like a tough call for them. There were points at which it appeared he had a very good chance to return.

Mattingly scored very high marks with the Dodgers brass for his handling of several tricky situations, including what to do with Andre Ethier, who looked like an odd man out in the outfield in spring training, plus how to handle the catching and shortstop positions. He's been seen as a major clubhouse plus, and Dodgers people figure that's the most important part of today's managing job. But there's been a spotlight on his strategies, and he may have suffered from over-analyzation.

Dodgers ownership, led by Mark Walter, have been said to be supporters of Mattingly for years. But folks have wondered what the call would be since Friedman didn't hire Mattingly. As it turned out Mattingly and Friedman got along famously.

The front office never adequately solved the issue of who'll start behind aces Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke in the Nos. 3 and 4 spots in the rotation, nor who would enhance a bullpen where closer Kenley Jansen remained the one consistently successful performer. Bullpen underperformance hurt them the previous year, as well.

Mattingly has been the Dodgers manager for five years, since taking over for his friend Joe Torre. He had a 446-363 (.551) record as manager in LA.
