Theo Epstein and Jeff Kingston could soon reunite in the Phillies front office

As the famous Prince hit song states, the Philadelphia Phillies could soon be “partying like it’s 1999.”

The club’s 77-85 record that year was nothing to write home about, but the final year of the millennium marked when current rumored Phillies general manager target Jeff Kingston first met three-time World Series front office executive Theo Epstein — another name recently linked to the organization as the potential successor to former general manager Matt Klentak and/or president Andy MacPhail.
