Phillies need Andy MacPhail to step down sooner rather than later
The Phillies front office seems to be a problem this offseason, with the President of Baseball Operations openly admitting that he essentially does not want the position anymore.
Andy MacPhail, who has served as the Phillies President of Baseball Operations since 2015, said during his end of season presser that he is not interested in returning to the club after his contract expires following the conclusion of next season.
More interesting – he went as far as saying that if managing partner John Middleton found a suitable replacement before his contract expired he would step down early.
The question is – why doesn’t MacPhail just step down if he doesn’t want the position anymore?
