Phillies wait on Don Mattingly decision after Mets extend Andy Green
Summary

The Philadelphia Phillies are delaying a permanent decision on manager Don Mattingly until the end of the season. Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski made the announcement following the New York Mets' unexpected decision to extend interim manager Andy Green for three years. Mattingly has led the Phillies to a significant turnaround since replacing Rob Thomson, with the team holding a four-game lead for the National League's final wild-card spot. His future will depend largely on the team's postseason performance. Dombrowski's connection to Alex Cora could complicate Mattingly’s situation as they evaluate options moving forward.
