Bowa moves on up to front office
A Bowa boost.
It’s time for a daily news report.
From clubhouse to penthouse
Larry Bowa was named senior adviser to the general manager on Friday. It was reported earlier that Bowa, 71, would likely stay in the organization, and this move seems to set him up to be with the Phillies for life.
In the role Bowa will work with young infielders in the organization, mostly as a minor league instructor. That seems like a good fit.
It’s further proof that Matt Klentak indeed wants a fresh look in the dugout. Bowa has been in and out of the clubhouse for the last 20 years; it’ll be interesting to see an entirely new staff of names in charge of the team on the field starting in 2018.
Ageism?
