LOS ANGELES -- Don Mattingly will be back as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers next season with a new three-year contract that takes him through 2016, quieting
speculation that his future with the club was somehow in doubt.

condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized, said Mattingly is
getting a raise from the $1.4 million he made last year. By comparison, Yankees
manager Joe Girardi, entering his seventh season in New York, is starting a $16
million, four-year agreement after completing a $9 million, three-year deal.
Mattingly had sought the stability of a multiyear deal. "I just want guys to
know the organization has confidence in you is important to me as a manager," he
said by phone from his off-season home in Evansville, Ind. Mattingly has a
260-225 record in his first three seasons with the Dodgers, who reached the NL
championship series this year, automatically triggering an extension of his
contract that was set to expire at the end of last season. He was runner-up for
NL Manager of the Year last season. Last winter, the Dodgers declined to
exercise Mattinglys option for 2014, a move he believed portrayed him as a
lame-duck in the clubhouse. In an awkward October news conference after the
Dodgers were eliminated by St. Louis in the playoffs, Mattingly said the
organization put him in a difficult position by not exercising the option. The
front office didnt clarify his status for 2014 that day, which frustrated
Mattingly. "I knew my contract had vested. I thought that at least that would
have been said that day," he said. "It kind of got left open and thats what got
me going a little bit. If I had to do all over again, I would have preferred it
to be in-house. I wish I had kept it inside and dealt with it face-to-face with
those guys." The next day, the team didnt pick up the contract option of coach
Trey Hillman, who was Mattinglys right-hand man on the bench. Shortly
thereafter, Mattingly spoke with majority owner Mark Walter and team president
Stan Kasten, who let him know they wanted him back. "I was comfortable with
where it was going to go," Mattingly said. "I knew at that point wed get
something done." General manager Ned Colletti said the deal was mostly done
three weeks ago, but the club waited until after a flurry of off-season signings
and the holidays ended to announce it. "Its well-deserved," he said. "The traits
of the man are really work ethic and making sure he can be as successful as he
can be and not leaving anything per chance. Thats one of the main reasons I
hired him three years ago." Mattingly began his career with the Dodgers in 2008
as a hitting coach under Joe Torre, who mentored Mattingly and endorsed him as a
successor after Torre retired. NOTES: Colletti has talked to the representative
of star pitcher Masahiro Tanaka and he said his camp is in a feeling-out process
with all 30 MLB teams. The 30-day window to sign the 25-year-old Japanese
right-hander ends on Jan. 24. ... The team has talked to the agent of NL Cy
Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw, who is eligible for free agency after next
season. "Its our desire to sign him here for a very long time," Colletti said.
... CF Matt Kemp is out of the walking boot that was on his sprained left ankle
at the end of last season, and hes starting to hit. The Dodgers expect him to be
ready by the middle of spring training. ... Colletti would like to sign another
infielder to give the team more versatility. ... INF Dee Gordon is playing
winter ball in Puerto Rico. ... Pitchers Chad Billingsley and Scott Elbert wont
return until midseason after recovering from Tommy John surgery.
