PHILADELPHIA — Dave Dombrowski will have some tough decisions to make this winter.
The Phillies fell in the National League Division Series once again, so the offseason started earlier for their president of baseball operations than he would’ve liked. Dombrowski announced Thursday during Philadelphia’s end-of-season news conference at Citizens Bank Park that manager Rob Thomson and his entire coaching staff will return in 2026, with an additional coach being added for next year as well.
Now, the attention will return to the roster.
After running back an awfully similar squad from 2024 into 2025, the club will face additional uncertainty heading into next season as four important players enter free agency.
