After a 71-91 finish to the 2015 season, the Marlins are fishing for a new manager, and, as it turns out, may be angling for someone who was just released back into the wild: Don Mattingly.

Miami has "considerable interest" in former Yankees star and recently released Dodgers manager, according to a Monday report from The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson. Though both sides are still in early talks, the Herald reports the interest is mutual and Mattingly would consider joining the team as his next stop on his now five-year long managing career.

Mattingly Has Plenty Of Possibilities For Where He Could Land Next

The Marlins have already announced they would allow Mattingly to assemble most of his own coaching staff should he take over the team, the Herald reported, aside from infield coach Perry Hill, whom the Marlins said they would want to retain.

Last week, the Dodgers and Mattingly agrees to part ways. "We kind of got to a point where, we felt like, mutually, that it might be better to part ways at that point," Dodgers general manager Andrew Friedman said of Mattingly's release shortly after the team lost to the Mets in the first round of the playoffs.

Three Big Reasons The Dodgers Fell Out Of The Playoffs That Aren't Don Mattingly

Aside from considering Mattingly, the Marlins have reportedly interviewed six candidates for the job, including Larry Bowa, Manny Acta, Bo Porter, Alex Cora, Phil Nevin and Rick Renteria. Bowa, currently a Phillies bench coach, is the only name on that list to have received two interviews so far.

Mattingly had a 446-363 (.551) record with the Dodgers and three straight playoff appearances. He spent his entire 14-year playing career with the Yankees, where he batted .307, made six All-Star teams, and won the 1985 AL MVP.
