The Washington Post and AOL Fanhouse are reporting that Los Angeles Dodgers bench coach and former Yankee great Don Mattingly is a candidate for the vacant manging spot for the Washington Nationals.

This past week, the Nats have asked and were granted permission by the Dodgers to court Mattingly.

He told Fanhouse that any interview would wait until after the World Series.

Personally, I think this is a great move for the Nats.  I thought when Joe Torre left the Yankees they should have tried to hire him.

Now they may just get the next best thing.

More on this as it develops.
