The Los Angeles Dodgers confirmed on Wednesday night that Don Mattingly will return for at least one more season.

"Of course," Stan Kasten said. "I never had any thought he would renege on his contract. It was never a question for me."

Sources with knowledge of the situation said the Dodgers intend to begin dialogue with Mattingly on a new contract in the next few days.

Mattingly put pressure on the front office during a news conference Monday to either extend him a multiyear contract offer or move on without him, saying he had been frustrated with his status as a "lame-duck" manager during the season.

C-Ya Donnie Baseball. Your lucky Puig bailed you out of getting axed 3 months into the season. He made a few crucial mistakes like running for Adrian against the Cards. It not only took their best RBI guy out of the game it in essence took Hanley out as well since they didnt have to pitch to him the rest of the game.
