Baseball and bloodlines lead Don and Preston Mattingly to the same place on Father's Day
This Father's Day comes with a bit of an edge for Preston Mattingly and his dad. The Phillies are trying to sweep the Blue Jays: the son looking to best the father. Blue Jays coach Don Mattingly has been looking up to the executive suite at Citizens Bank Park this weekend and seeing his son Preston, who became general manager of the Phillies last fall. 'Preston has always loved sports,' said proud papa Don in an interview for the current episode of 'Deep Left Field,' the Star's baseball podcast. 'One of those kids that wakes up in the morning and has (ESPN's) 'SportsCenter' on and all that kind of stuff. He's been around not just this game but sports in general, and loves it. To see him doing well is really good.' Having a father who was not just successful in the game but a borderline Hall of Famer gave Preston a leg up, no question. But the Mattingly name can be a heavy one. When your nickname is Donnie Baseball, that comes with certain expectations for the progeny. Mattingly saw that when his three older sons were playing. Preston is the middle child from Mattingly's first marriage. 'I was out of the game for a while and going to (Preston and older son Taylor's) games,' said the Jays' third-year bench coach. 'I felt for them. When they were playing baseball, I think the parents and other people think: Oh, he supposed to be good, he's supposed to be this. They don't allow them just to play.' Preston said he doesn't remember people treating him any differently as the son of a New York Yankees legend, but looking back he can see it. 'Obviously being who he is, people probably look at me a little bit differently,' said the 37-year-old GM. 'But he was always great in letting me be myself and do my own thing. Never forced me or any of my brothers to play or do anything, and so with that there was no added pressure. Anything other people put on us externally, nothing came from him or my family.' But Preston played anyway. Drafted 31st by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2006 — two years before his father became the team's hitting coach — the younger Mattingly got a million-dollar bonus and played six seasons in the minors (never reaching Double-A) before returning to school and playing college basketball at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. Preston stayed in touch with Logan White, who was the scouting director with the Dodgers when he was drafted and had since moved to the San Diego Padres. 'He was kind of in-between, like what he was going to do,' said Don, who was managing the Miami Marlins at that time. 'He came down to spring training with me for about a week and then San Diego called to interview him.' Preston picked up the story. 'I flew out to Arizona (to the Padres' spring training facility) and met with (White) and some of the members of the front office and they offered me a job. I started in scouting and worked my way into different various front-office roles ... It was more just getting my feet wet and understanding the ins and outs and ebbs and flows of the front office. It was very indicative early on that it was something I wanted to do because I just love that side of the game, too.' Nearly a decade later, Preston Mattingly has his own team to run in Philadelphia, while his father (drafted 493rd by the Yankees in 1979) is in his 47th season in professional baseball. The senior Mattingly, having played with Ken Griffey Sr. for the first five years of his career, remembers Ken Griffey Jr. running around the Yankees clubhouse and believes kids learn baseball through osmosis. 'Being around the game, they see what it looks like,' Mattingly said of all the big-league juniors. 'They know how these guys talk, they're not intimidated by players. I'm going into the Yankees clubhouse as a 20-year-old, I'm scared halfway to ... don't know what to do. He's been getting autographs from guys since he was six years old hanging around the locker room.' It helps, being born into the game. The Blue Jays know this well, and have even made bloodlines part of their development strategy over the past few years. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Daulton Varsho are current Jays whose fathers were big-leaguers. Vladdy's was a Hall of Famer, while Bichette and Varsho's dads (Dante and Gary) combined to play 22 seasons in the majors. The Jays recently t ook two out of three from the Phillies at the Rogers Centre, while Preston watched his dad from the suites above. 'The passion he has for helping players, that's always been the biggest thing,' said the Phillies GM. 'He never lost sight of how hard the game is — even how great a player he was — and just shares that passion for helping players achieve the goals and dreams they want to achieve.' On Father's Day in Philadelphia, the dad will be looking up at his son. 'I'm pretty impressed, honestly,' said the Jays coach. 'He's good with people, which you have to be. He's good with all the numbers and everything, all the technology today ... but still, there's a human side, and I think he's got a pretty good balance of that.'

Phillies Ace Makes Decision About When His Career Will Be Over
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When looking around MLB and having conversations about who the best pitchers in the game are, Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler is at the forefront at most of those conversations. Unfortunately for Phillies fans, the days of Wheeler taking the mound every fifth day are coming to an end sooner rather than later. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 9: Zack Wheeler #45 of the Philadelphia Phillies looks on against the Chicago Cubs at Citizens Bank Park on June 9, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Phillies defeated the Cubs 4-3... PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 9: Zack Wheeler #45 of the Philadelphia Phillies looks on against the Chicago Cubs at Citizens Bank Park on June 9, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Phillies defeated the Cubs 4-3 in extra innings. MoreAccording to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Wheeler is planning to step away from baseball after his current contract expires in 2027. Wheeler will be 37 at the end of the season, a reasonable age to step away from the game. Wheeler has spent all 11 seasons of his career in the NL East, six with the Phillies and five with the New York Mets. He's been one of the most consistent pitchers in the league, making 30-plus starts in three of the last four seasons and five total in his career. He's well on track to get that to number to six -- and four of the last five seasons -- at the end of this year. "That's the plan," Wheeler confirmed, adding that it "doesn't matter" if he continues to pitch at a dominant level. Dominant is certainly the way to describe Wheeler's season so far. He is 6-2 with a 2.85 ERA and 101 strikeouts across 13 starts and 82 innings pitched. If not for Paul Skenes, Wheeler may be considered the frontrunner for the National League Cy Young Award. For some, though, stepping away from the game can be a difficult decision. But for Wheeler, it doesn't seem like that will be the case. "It'll be easy to walk away," he told Gelb. Knowing that Wheeler only has somewhere around 75-80 starts left in his career, Philadelphia needs to do everything in its power to help him accomplish the ultimate goal of a World Series ring before he retires.

12-Year MLB Bench Boss Slams Door on Return to Managing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When the team was struggling, Toronto Blue Jays bench coach Don Mattingly was rumored as a candidate to take over for manager John Schneider. Now that the Jays are holding onto an American League Wild Card position at 38-33, the rumors have quieted. More significantly, Mattingly has himself decided his days as a bench boss at the MLB level are over. More news: Longtime Cardinals Pitcher Announces Sudden Retirement From MLB In an interview with Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer on the Phillies Extra podcast, Mattingly effectively put to rest any rumors he will manage again, saying "I think the managing side of things is over for me." "I'm kind of at an age where ... I'm kind of getting to the same point that I got to with Preston (Mattingly's son and the Phillies' farm director) and his older brother," the elder Mattingly said. "My son Louie is 10. He's kind of getting to that age that I want to be involved with that." Mattingly continued: "I think the older you get, the less you enjoy the role, the travel, the busses, and the hotels. I still love the ballpark and the field. But it's getting tougher for me to say in a full-time role to have the time, and feel like I have the energy to do it at the manager level. That's a whole different level." More news: Phillies All-Star Shut Down From Throwing After Troubling MRI In his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2011-15) and Miami Marlins (2016-22), Mattingly went 889-950, leading his teams to four playoff berths in 12 seasons.

Manager Joe Maddon #70 of the Chicago Cubs and the National League and Coach Don Mattingly #8 of the Miami Marlins and the National League look on in the first inning during the 88th MLB All-Star Game against the American League All-Stars at Marlins Park on July 11, 2017 in Miami, Florida. MoreThe losing record underscores the success Mattingly had behind the bench of the Dodgers, his first-ever managerial job after being promoted from hitting coach. The Dodgers never posted a losing record in Mattingly's five seasons, and his final three seasons kicked off an unprecedented run of eight consecutive National League West titles. More news: Former Orioles, Twins Pitcher, Cincinnati Native, Dies Unexpectedly at 54 In Miami, Mattingly's teams only produced a winning record once, but they took advantage of it to clinch a Wild Card berth in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, then won a playoff round against the favored Chicago Cubs. Mattingly, 64, left the Marlins voluntarily after the 2022 season with more wins (437) than any manager in franchise history. He was named the Blue Jays' bench coach prior to the 2023 season. More news: Legendary Two-Sport Star Whose Grandson Followed Him to Cardinals Dies "I've enjoyed the bench coach because John Schneider's a good guy," Mattingly told Lauber. "Originally I came in, Schneider was a young manager. He's grown by leaps and bounds since then. He's passed the point of me. He's a really good communicator. The managing side, I feel like, has passed me by. "Maybe managing Louie's 12-year-old team, maybe I can still do that." For more MLB news, visit Newsweek Sports.
