MIA 1, WSH 6: “It’s Time for a New Voice”
The final Sunday home game the Marlins would play in 2022 was eventual in more ways than one.
Overshadowing the game between the lines - one Miami dropped to the Nationals, 6-1 - was the news that longtime manager Don Mattingly would not be returning in 2023.
“It’s time for a new voice,” said Mattingly. “I’d characterize my time here as disappointing. I came here to build something, something that when I left, I felt could be sustained.”
"You try to follow your heart."
