Baseball-Major League Baseball roundup

Oct 27 (The Sports Xchange) - Don Mattingly is spending the week in Indiana after having a good chat with the Miami Marlins in an interview that he said went well. "It really did," Mattingly said Tuesday on the Dan Patrick Show. "As we got into discussion, as we kept talking, it just felt like it was a clear path. It was the best thing for me at the moment. It was the best thing for them. I'm grateful for the opportunity I had." Mattingly said he was not offered a job with the Marlins and classified talks with the team as casual discussions back and forth. Even if he would be offered the job, Mattingly said no announcement would be made during the World Series. - - Rookie switch-hitter Raul A.
