PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Members of the Philadelphia Phillies’ front office will be speaking about the firing of manager Gabe Kapler. Managing partner John Middleton, general manager Matt Klentak and president Andy MacPhail will address the media at 1 p.m.
Kapler spent two seasons as Phillies manager, ending his tenure with a 161-163 record.
In 2018, the Phillies suffered a late-season collapse after being in first place as late as August, and finished third with an 80-82 record. This past season, the Phillies were 3.5 games up in first place in late May but crashed hard with terrible pitching, an inconsistent offense and a litany of injuries, finishing at 81-81.
