Friend: Mattingly Says He's Not Ready
Sep 26, 2014 12:00 PM
Yankees' bench coach Don Mattingly has told a member of the Steinbrenner family he does not feel ready for the manager's job and is uncomfortable with replacing Joe Torre, according to a friend.
The friend, who requested anonymity because the situation is unresolved, said he spoke directly with the former Yankees' great in recent days. Mattingly's stance could open the door for the Yankees to bring back Torre for a 13th season because he was the leading candidate for the job.
