"Mattingly's deal is for four years, according to the source. He will be the club's eighth manager since 2010. The Marlins are thought to be waiting until after the World Series to make a formal announcement."

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman confirmed Knight's report.

Acta on Marlins' Radar

Tuesday, Sept. 22

Frisaro initially reported Dusty Baker and Manny Acta are candidates for the position, though a source later told Frisaro that Baker was not a candidate yet. The club interviewed Acta on Tuesday.

Acta, 46, last managed the Cleveland Indians from 2010 to 2012. He went 214-266 (.446 winning percentage) in Cleveland, failing to make the postseason in all three years before being let go late in the 2012 season. Before Cleveland, Acta had a largely unsuccessful run with the Washington Nationals, going 158-252 (.385 winning percentage) while finishing no higher than fourth place in the NL East.
