The degree of autonomy granted to Mattingly regarding his assistant coaches remains an open question, particularly regarding long-tenured staff members.
Roster Changes
Mattingly faces pressure to fix fundamental on-field mistakes, though significant roster turnover at positions like shortstop is already expected.
Payroll Concerns
