Phillies Rumors: Moving on from Gabe Kapler ‘more likely than not’

It didn’t take long after the Philadelphia Phillies disappointing 2019 campaign concluded yesterday for the conversation to shift to the future of manager Gabe Kapler.

There isn’t yet an indication that the organization has made a decision on Kapler – who is under contract for 2020 – but things do appear to be trending in one direction.

Monday, RADIO.COM Sports MLB Insider Jon Heyman said that he believes the Phillies will ultimately move on from Kapler, who has led the Phillies to a 161-163 record over the past two seasons.

“I’m not sure it’s Kapler’s fault – I do think there’s a good chance that he will take the fall,” Heyman said on the latest edition of Big Time Baseball.
