Dodgers Credits: Scully’s Announcement; Mattingly’s New Gig

It’s been a fairly busy day in Dodger Land as a major announcement was made, a former manage found a home, a potential candidate landed elsewhere and a couple Dodgers were named finalists for an award. Let’s see what everyone had to say about it.
