8 MLB managers that may not return in 2023

Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly

Don Mattingly is in his seventh season as manager of the Miami Marlins and since he became their manager, the only thing that hasn’t changed is him.

The Marlins have a new owner and a new GM since then (and his former teammate Derek Jeter has joined and since left the ownership group). Additionally, the team has regressed under Mattingly.

After making the playoffs in 2020, they went 67-95 last year and are on pace to go 72-90 this year. Mattingly only is contracted through this season too.

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell

After starting the season going 3-22, it was a bit surprising that the Cincinnati Reds didn’t fire David Bell then. Since that, they have gone 17-14 but they are still in last place and still on pace to go 58-104.

The Reds did extend him through the 2023 season but considering the downturn that the team has taken after they went 83-79 last year, Bell will likely be the scapegoat for the Reds having a bad owner and a bad front office who gave up on the team.

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martínez

Dave Martínez won the World Series with the Washington Nationals in 2019 … but they have been an awful team since then. They were in last place in 2020, last place in 2021, and are currently in last place this season as they are on pace for a 59-103 record.

The Nationals have been known to cycle through their managers as Martínez (in his fourth season) is the most tenured manager for the Nationals since they moved to Washington, D.C.

He is under contract through the 2023 season.
