The Philadelphia Phillies are nearing a hire of their next pitching coach to replace Bryan Price, with a “clear frontrunner” identified from the Cincinnati Reds organization. “At least a half-dozen candidates” were reportedly considered for the coaching vacancy, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury, among them including a familiar face — their former pitching coach, Rich Dubee.
The Massachusetts native spent nine seasons as Phillies pitching coach, from 2005 to 2013.
