The Phillies are expected to begin interviewing candidates in their search for a president of baseball operations this week, according to a recent report from The Athletic’s Jayson Stark.
A source told Stark the team is in search of “an experienced, trusted, credible person.” Additionally, they will also look at a pool of candidates who are deemed “rising stars” that are on track to be GMs at some point in the future.
They’ve already shown interest in a few candidates, including former Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein. Epstein stepped down from his position on Tuesday and intends to take some time off.
