Mattingly has an opportunity to make a huge impact on the Blue Jays' young stars
“[I was] pretty surprised, honestly,” Mattingly said in a Zoom press conference with Toronto reporters Wednesday. “I didn't really think about Toronto at all. I'd seen their club; I knew they had a good club. But when Ross called, in just the first conversation, it felt great.”
On the surface, this hire indicates a culture shift of some sorts, with Mattingly presumably adding an “old school” voice to a young team and young coaching staff. There’s a long list of reasons why Mattingly is a great fit in Toronto. His clubhouse influence is one of them. “I felt like I've been kind of through all stages,” he said. “Just getting to the league and trying to prove yourself and wanting to go show people that you can play. Going through different stages, arbitration contracts, struggles. All those things are the same.
