The Philadelphia Phillies dismissed manager Rob Thomson on Tuesday morning amid a disappointing 9-19 start to the season. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski named bench coach Don Mattingly as interim manager after Alex Cora declined the offer. Players including Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto took accountability for the team's struggles.
The Philadelphia Phillies have extended manager Rob Thomson's contract through the 2027 season, adding stability after four straight postseason appearances. The announcement came during the MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, Florida, coinciding with news of Kyle Schwarber's re-signing but described as unrelated. Thomson expressed his commitment to the organization, highlighting his enjoyment and desire to win a championship.
