Don Mattingly has asked the Dodgers to scale back his responsibilities as a member of Joe Torre's new coaching staff. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Mattingly and his wife of 28 years, Kim, have agreed to separate. Mattingly, the sources said, felt he should spend as much time at home in Evansville, Indiana, to be with his 16-year-old son, Jordon, a high school sophomore, rather than uproot him and bring him to Los Angeles.

Women dont settle for the Dodgers....They want a Yankee! Sorry buddy but you took a step down with this one!

Coming from a broken family with an absenty father, this is probably the best thing you can do! So Cheers to you for that! Besides, your famus, another one will come along shortly i'm sure!

It breaks my heart every time I see Torre and Donnie Baseball in an LA uniform....

Gotta love Donnie, whatever the uniform. Wish him the best; tough times. But you'd expect him to do the right thing. Quality guy.
