J.J. Picollo and Dave Dombrowski are two names to watch to potentially replace Matt Klentak as the Phillies general manager.

Other than potentially re-signing perennial All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto, who the successor will be to former general manager Matt Klentak is perhaps the second-most popular question mark for the Philadelphia Phillies this offseason.

When Klentak stepped down earlier this month — after five full seasons in the position without a postseason appearance — not much clarity was provided other than that Ned Rice would serve as interim general manager.
