The Phillies will play baseball in 2020 under new manager Joe Girardi
The wait is finally over. Major League Baseball announced Monday evening that clubs have unanimously voted to proceed with a 2020 season. After several weeks of uncertainty, it is now guaranteed that the Philadelphia Phillies will be playing baseball under new manager Joe Girardi this year.
MLB announced the season after they learned the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) rejected the agreement framework, which was recently developed by Commissioner Rob Manfred and the players union’s Executive Director, Tony Clark.
