Mattingly has been named, assuming a promotion, offensive coordinator.
Presumably also to quell any talk of him going after a manager job somewhere else.
There's no doubt he's there, and always has been, to guide a first time manager, and have to credibility to slide into Schneider's chair if the Jays underperform at any point in the next two seasons. And then he will fire Martinez and he'll hire his own hitting coach.
