Phillies Amid Unfamiliar Territory in Search for New Manager

The Philadelphia Phillies have had 54 different managers since their inaugural season in 1883.

This offseason, the organization will hire its 55th, as in 2020 it will pursue a third championship over 138 overall seasons in franchise history.

The most notable, and rumored-to-be likely candidates for this role include 11-year-veteran and 2009 World Series-winning manager Joe Girardi, 20-year veteran manager Buck Showalter, and 22-year veteran manager Dusty Baker.

Together, Girardi, Showalter, and Baker have a combined 53 seasons and 8,351 games of managerial experience.
